Additions to Commands & Colors Ancients: Expansion #4

We have decided to reconfigure Commands & Colors Ancients: Expansion #4, Imperial Rome, by adding a completely new Roman army. The price of the Expansion remains unchanged. The total block count (including spares) increases to 293 blocks. The reasons for the decision were numerous, but the primary consideration was that if we did not provide a new army, the red and gray Roman armies would have been increased in size to fight the new battles, and we did not want the holders of expansions 2 and 3 to “repurchase” units they had already bought. You will note by the listing of Imperial Roman units that the army composition is not like either earlier Roman army, and that it is decidedly weaker than its predecessor, the Julian army.

Purple – Imperial Roman Units

Light Infantry – 6 units (24 blocks)

Light Bow Infantry – 2 units (8 blocks)

Light Sling Infantry - 5 units (20 blocks)

Auxilia Infantry - 8 units (32 blocks)

Warrior Infantry – 1 unit (4 blocks)

Medium Infantry – 9 units (36 blocks)

Heavy Infantry - 3 units (12 blocks)

Heavy War Machine – 1 unit (2 blocks)

Light Cavalry - 4 units (12 blocks)

Light Bow Cavalry – 2 units (6 blocks)

Medium Cavalry – 4 units (12 blocks)

Heavy Cavalry - 2 units (6 blocks)

Heavy Cataphract Cavalry - 2 units (6 blocks)

Leader – 4 leaders (4 blocks)


We have increased the Eastern Kingdom army to reflect the increasing dominance of the mounted units, particularly the light archers and heavy cataphracted cavalry. You’ll get a chance to use armored camels as well. Regular camel units have been provided in case you wish to revisit older battles such as Magnesia and use the Eastern Kingdom army instead of the Greek army.


Tan - Eastern Kingdom Units

Warrior Infantry - 1 unit (4 blocks)

Light Cavalry - 2 units (6 blocks)

Light Bow Cavalry - 6 units (18 blocks)

Heavy Cataphract Cavalry - 5 units (15 blocks)

Camel - 2 units (6 blocks)

Cataphract Camel - 2 units (6 blocks)


We have also increased the Barbarian army – again to reflect the increasing use of heavier mounted units,
Green - Barbarian Units

Medium Cavalry - 2 units (6 blocks)

Heavy Cavalry - 4 units (12 blocks)


Black Rectangular Wagon Blocks

Baggage Wagon (one side), Wagon Laager (opposite side) - (5 blocks)


Black Square Blocks

Eight of these blocks are for the Imperial Roman victory banners and two are for Special Unit markers. Each block receives a label on one side only.

We have decreased the number of card holders in Expansion #4 from four to two, but feel the increase in blocks more than offsets the transfer of the other two card holders to Expansion #5.

This has been much discussed over on BoardGame Geek, but I will state my dissapointment again with a third Roman army. Yes I will buy it, and play it, and enjoy playing it...I just think its such a waste of limited resources. Please expand the system outside of Romans! Three boxes focusing on Romans is one box to many.

Peace
