Commands and Colors Anyone?

I actually received this game recently as a gift...it is great fun. The trick for me is finding someone who will play it with me!

Yes, finding opponents is always a challenge. Fortunately I have a grandson who is turning into an avid player and as Simon rightly points out, this is a very accessible game making it somewhat easier to introduce (seduce or dragoon) new players to the game. The rule set allows you to spend more time on tactics and actual game play and less time on being a rules lawyer.

Now, here is a question for the Group Mind:

Does there exist (somewhere) a detailed TO&E of Julius Caesar's invasion force for his aborted Parthian campaign?

Having that information might allow someone of enterprise and skill (and with some time on their hands) to put together an army list for the GMT C&C Ancients game system and allow us to game the invasion and see just how well Caesar might have done had he lived past the Ides of March.

I have checked the C&C Ancients site which contains a vast array of scenarios but nothing on Caesar's planed invasion. It is the kind of "What if..." scenario that could prove to be fun to play.

I'm not the one to create this army list but perhaps one of our Forum members who plays C&C is both capable and interested in trying their hand at creating such a scenario. :?:

I have also posted this query in the Romany Military History thread in the hope that such a TO&E exists. However if a gamer has already constructed a scenario for this campaign I would love to have a copy.

:wink:
