So what do people think of the weird sprue elements Warlord are using for the Romans to get a three rank unit on the standard “Epic” base size (it’s a kinda “block” made up of three parts with one being the front of the figures, one showing just the rear of the figures and the last one just the heads (and tops of shields)?

Looks like the Carthaginians are still on the typical Epic strip with just two ranks per base (from the photos).

 

I’m a bit torn, I’d much rather Warlord had retained just two ranks for the Roman Legionnaires (and doing the full figures on each strip). From the photos the current Legionnaires just look too crammed in (if you can remember the original GHQ “blocks” of infantry, they look like that). Anyhow is this me just being overly grumpy, or are they a spark of genius?
