I bumped in to some old friends at Warfare last year, it was great to catch up even if it has been perhaps 15 years since we last played together "Tuesday nights in Rich's cellar...."
Who could forget the great campaigns of old - Hue City and the Pony Wars where no one packed any ammo... :-)
However just to prove what a great hobby this is we agreed to catch up over e-mail and what better way than a campaign.... Given that we all live in different parts of the coutry how we ever meet up to play a game has yet to be worked out...
Hah minor details.
The campaign is set during the fall of Rome with several faction fighting to control the empire and ultimately Rome, set out below are the starting points and factions.
The Empire and how its split
up.

Gaul, his lands include these countries with the cities of-
Seville 2 reinforcement
