Here are some photos of a Spartacus Slave Revolt, Hail Caesar game I played with Alan Traves down at the Vikings Club at Lanyon about nine years ago. I remembered this game and the photos I had of it because I've started painting some untrained slaves for my own Spartacus Slave Revolt army. Alan had a very nice army, mainly Foundry and 1st Corps figures, and they thrashed my Romans, another day of shame and ignominy for the legions! I have a lot of the same figures but also some of the excellent Companion Miniatures range of slave revolt figures which were actually sold by Aventine Miniatures for a while. Anyway they should be fun to paint.

Battle of Colline Gate - Sulla leads his troops out of Rome Kevin suggested I do a post about playing Command and Colors Ancients ...
Auxiliary Cohors Milliaria, three double strength cohorts with detached troops in front, Antonine Miniatures on the left and Korhyl Minia...
Great looking game and the Spartacus army should be a nice project to do, looking forward to seeing more.
