Fantasy Skirmish Wargames in the Roman Empire
 |
The Roman Empire rules the civilised world with an iron fist¸ seemingly all-powerful and limitless. And yet¸ the power of Rome is secured not by its mighty legions¸ but by small bands of warriors and agents fighting a secret war. Tasked by the Emperor to explore ancient temples¸ forgotten labyrinths and beast-haunted caverns¸ they seek out artefacts hidden by the gods themselves¸ hunt creatures of myth and face enemies that would use dark magic against the empire.
Broken Legions is a set of fantasy skirmish rules for a war unknown to history¸ fought in the shadows of the Roman Empire. Various factions recruit small warbands to fight in tight¸ scenario-driven battles that could secure the mystical power to defend - or crush - Rome. A points system allows factions to easily build a warband¸ and mercenaries and free agents may also be hired to bolster a force. Heroes and leaders may possess a range of skills¸ traits and magical abilities¸ but a henchman's blade can be just as sharp¸ and a campaign can see even the lowliest henchman become a hero of renown.
