I like the original "X75 Segeda (153 BC)" scenario, but all the special rules made it a bit slow to learn and set up. So I made a simpler version that uses only the standard C&C: Ancients rules — no house rules at all — while keeping the same brutal, chaotic ambush feel.
What I changed:
- No special rules: Leaders, Warriors, and light troops play exactly as in the core rulebook.
- 6 Banners to win, keeping the game tight and fast (about 45–60 minutes).
- Forest hexes break up the Roman march column: the vanguard is exposed and the Heavy Infantry is stuck at the back, so Line Command cards are hard for the Romans to use.
- It's a good scenario to learn how to use the Warriors' shock charge.
It's a very one-sided, thematic game: the Celtiberians (5 cards, Move First
) have to cash in their early shock advantage fast, while the Romans (4 cards) scramble to form a line before their center collapses.
Hope you enjoy it — let me know how it plays!
