Short article on the Samnites mYbe of interest...

Didn't you know?

Tsk tsk

 

I did, though haven't had any direct response from Nigel yet.

Duncan did post this (paywalled) article, which might be useful, and Nigel said it should be on JSTOR next year.

Some great photos of lovely games including some marvellous ones in our period - the A&A miniatures 3rd century Romans look magnificent (and I already have Palmyrans and Sassanids...)

Useful snippet on testing practical use of Dendra armour.

Good idea ... and please post any answer back here.

How about 'medieval infantry was useless against (easily defeated by) mounted knights'.
