Yup, but I wasn’t going to go into the Roman Kingdom stuff, and as it’s Warband gameplay the tactics of the Republican army doesn’t feature. So you’ve got Hastari with Jav (ok I know it’s a pilum on the model). and the Triaei with LTS (which isn’t that far off a Etruscan/Samnite army anyway).

It’s more getting an “warband” of figures you could also use for other rules, and I don’t know anyone who’s bothered to collect a Roman Kingdom army (but it could be nice to do one vs Etruscans for a demo game to really be a change from the usual fare for an Ancients game featuring “Romans”).

But either way the Cesarian Legions and Early Imperial are just too late for the Greeks with the Mortal Gods range. Which is why you’ve just got to go with the “rule of cool”. Not that in my time playing WRG that we didn’t have lots of battles where the armies were not only out of time period, but also half an world away at the time (talk about us grognards always getting things right and rivet counting 😀 )
