Hi Paul,
I'm glad to have met you both at Tarraco. Hope you enjoyed your stay in Spain. If you want to see more pics -including your battle wounds- have a look in the relevant 'Events' thread:

I completely agree with you that Eduardo is doing a magnificient work. But as many purists would attack a seemingly easy prey, I believe that such a quick growth for a young group should be managed with care, to avoid exchanging quality for quantity. But I insist, in this case the problems Cesar remarked were more than balanced by the right feeling of a phalanx attack that such a big number of hoplites provided, as I hope my pictures prove. As for the explanations, I'm glad Eduardo adopted some of the suggestions I made to him to modify the earlier 'academic lecture' approach.
