I just discovered the pre-order for SPQR tonight. I also agree with Tokhuah above that there is little information about the nature of the “warband” ancients. I do hope that the campaign system is good. It would make sense that this will be the skirmish rules that have been developed throughout Hail Caesar’s lifespan via Dacian, Shieldwall, and now the new Bronze era supplements. Nonetheless I am excited.
Specifically, I think I’m going to pick up the starter set and add a few characters in order to paint up a Servile war/Spartacus themed set. The description does state the we are getting some Marian Romans. In fact, I think I’m going to add Pullo & Verenus, Pompey & Marcus Crassus, and Myrmillo gladiator to my order. Overall I’m excited for this new expansion.
What other ideas do folks have for eras/themes with this new skirmish level ancients game?
