306 Bibracte (58 BC)

Looking at this scenario I wonder if it's supposed to have the Tenth Legion rules in it's Special Rules section.
They are labelled on the map.

NRBH - but I think Expansion 4 helps clarify that by making all Medium and Heavy Infantry under Julian Rules able to move 2 hexes (and not battle) - which I think is all the 10th Legion lets you do.

Aha, that's it. In Marian Legion scenarios they need special unit rules but not under Julian Legion rules.

Thanks,

Just managed a hard-fought Roman victory in spite of losing Caesar. Caesar had already provided a thumping battleback to the Helvetii (five swords and a helmet!). The final score was 7-4 but the game was much more back-and-forth than is implied by the difference. The Helvetii whiffed an attack and their fresh medium cavalry unit was destroyed by another in the battleback. Good times.

Caeser got late into action, the barbarian units did fairly well and a left flank party rolled up the Romans, despite them having line advances, then successive Medium orders broke Roman centre and disordered their lines making for some pickings, for a Helvetti victory of 7 to 4 over Rome

Two victories for Rome, one close 7-6 (barbarians did well on the flanks) and one route 7-0 (Caesar lead charge and destroyed both barbarian camps)
