new plastic romans for 2003

[Daniel S Peterson]

I have just seen the new Zevda and Italeri catalogs. Zevda will release a set of 1st century AD Praetorian guards, which based on their latest offerings will probably be the best set of plastic 1/72 Romans ever produced. They have also released several new sets of 'undead' skeletonized Romans in their fantasy range.<br>
Their Greek ship is out and the Roman one will come this year. The box art depicts it with a Corvus, so it will not merely be a restrike of an existing model such as Academy or Heller.<br>
<br>
Italeri will release a set of Gladiators.<br>

Zvezda also has a website, and there is a seperate site for their simple gaming rules, Age of Battles. Now I have to find an English version, because my Russian is NOT up to translating the rules. The fort model is nice, anyone going to want a couple of hundred painted Greeks and Persians? <br>
I just got some Roman figures from Orion (Ukraine), 1/72 plastic naval types. They come with rowing figures, a drummer for the beat, a helmsman, a greek fire thrower as well as a naval officer and some guys working the rigging.<br>
