Greek Warband Roster

The Greeks are defending their homeland against a numerous and deadly enemy. Fortunately they've had quite a bit of practice fighting each other and are mostly better armed and trained than their enemies. It's not going to be easy though.

If you haven't played with these rules before this is what you need to know: a low quality value is good because you need to roll over it on a d6. A high Combat value is good because you add it to a d6 roll. Special rules generally do what the name implies.

A starting warband is 300 points and you can't spend more than 100pts on personalities.The point limit will increase as the campaign progresses.

New units will also appear throughout the campaign.

A note on colour schemes
Since Spartan, Athenian and Corinthian hoplites could all end up looking very similar, please use the following colour schemes so that everyone can tell them apart at a glance.

  • Athens: White helmet crests and/or tunics
  • Corinth:  Black helmet crests and/or tunics
  • Sparta: Red helmet crests and/or tunics
