New Commands & Colors Ancients Imperial Rome Scenarios

The Battle of Adrianople, 378, is one of the more decisive battles of the late empire, sometimes mistakenly called the "beginning of the end of the Empire".

While its effects are well known, its details are surprisingly vague. We can be confident that the battle started before the Romans had their army entirely ready, due to an impatient subordinate commander, but reports vary on whether this happened on the right or the left flank! Perhaps the details are murky because so many of the Roman leaders died, including the emperor himself. What we do know is that the Romans blundered their way into the fight.

We therefore present two Commands & Colors: Ancients interpretations of this Epic historical battle for your gaming pleasure.
