Scenario Size?

Post by Toby42 »

Are the Scenario's smaller and more manageable that AJE? The geographical area covered should be smaller. I could never get a handle on the vastness of AJE. It was too much like work to try and keep track of where all of your leaders and units were!

Yes they are. The troop numbers are also smaller than in AJE. Basically, two armies are all you will have with the Romans because you need to concentrate your forces.

How was your download with Plimus? I've trouble with just about every purchase with them! I've gotten what I paid for, but I had to jump through hoops for it to happen....

I bought it at www.ageod.com. But I never had any trouble with Plimus when I bought games from Matrix or Slitherine... they sometimes take a few minutes to accept my purchase but that's it.

Hmm I like the sound of that..maybe I will buy it. I would have bought it over AJE as I prefer smaller scenarios, plus Celtic Chariots. I will probably wait though for the Germanic\Britain and Gaul battles.
