  • Introduction to the Hurlbat Publishing Edition

    Welcome to the Hurlbat Publishing edition of Micro Warfare Series: Micro Ancient Expansion III Enemies of Rome

    An expansion to the popular Micro Ancient game, this title introduces three additional belligerents to enhance play: Britons, Gallic and

    Goth. The section for each army includes counters for use in the game; applicable rule amendments as well as some brief information

    about the country at the time (source: Wikipedia)

    PLEASE NOTE: You must have a copy of Micro Warfare: Micro Ancients to make use of this title.

    The Micro Warfare series was originally published by Tabletop Games in the 1970s with this title being published in 1976. Each game in

    the series aims to recreate the feel of tabletop wargaming with large numbers of miniatures but using printed counters and terrain so

    that games can be played in a small space and are very cost-effective.

    In these new editions we have kept the rules and most of the illustrations unchanged but have modernised the layout and counter

    designs to refresh the game. Please look out for more games and expansions from this series being released over the next few months:

    Product Subject Additional Armies

  • Amendments to basic rules

    Chariots

    Bow armed chariot units may only engage targets at short range, i.e. 75mm or less. Chariots

    are classed as an Open Order target for missiles.

    Chariot units may charge across the front of enemy units engaging them with missile fire. This

    is achieved by the unit charging towards the enemy then turning 90, which costs 20mm of

    movement, just before contact is made, and continuing the charge along the enemys front.

    Chariots moving this way may not be engaged in melee by infantry units.

    Chariot Melees

    Add the following factors to the melee table on the combat charts:

    Present fighting factor

    Cavalry Infantry Elephant Chariots

    301+ 66 78 / 32* 30 78

    151 300 46 58 / 25* 20 58

    Less than 151 18 32 / 15* 12 32

    *Normal melee / passing melee

    After the first round of normal melee, chariots will unform the unit they are attacking. This

    does not apply if the melee is a passing melee, where the defending infantry unit uses the

    following Anti-Chariot tactic.

    Anti-Chariot tactics

    M1 and M2 class units may open ranks to allow the attacking chariot unit to pass through, only

    if the chariot unit mas moved at least 25mm into contact. This tactic must be declared

    immediately the chariot charge is stated. If the infantry unit opens its ranks, the chariots must

    attempt to make a full charge move, a passing melee is fought as the chariots pass through the

    infantry unit. The infantry unit will count only half its present fighting factor in a passing melee

    calculation, and will be considered as being unformed during that move, but not in the

    following move.

    M3 units must, and M1 / M2 units may choose to meet chariots as in a normal melee.

    Example of a passing melee:

    Infantry

    80

    mm

    Infantry

    40

    mm

    Chariot unit declares charge. Infantry unit declares anti-chariot

    tactic.

    Position of chariot unit at the end of the move after fighting a passing melee with

    infantry.

    Bow armed cavalry

    These bow armed cavalry units may always choose to evade an attacker. If they do become

    involved in a melee they will count as sword armed only unless equipped with another

    weapon. They may only engage an enemy unit at short range, i.e. 75mm or less.

    Two handed cutting weapons (2HCW)

    Add the following factors to the two handed cutting weapon section on the melee table on the

    combat charts:

    Present fighting factor

    Cavalry Infantry Elephant Chariots

    801+ 65 90 60 65

    601 800 60 80 50 55

    401 600 50 60 30 35

    201 400 30 55 20 25

    Less than 201 20 40 15 20

    Note: Certain units such as the Viking Berserks have been classed as armed with 2HCW for

    factor purposes and is not necessarily historically accurate.

  • Kontos armed cavalry

    These will lose their kontos weapon after the contact round. Once the kontos has been lost

    the cavalry will count as being sword armed only.

    Pike armed infantry

    Add the factors below to the melee table on the combat charts:

    Present fighting factor

    Cavalry Infantry Elephant Chariots

    1001+ 120 125 115 125

    801 1000 100 105 95 105

    601 800 80 85 75 85

    401 600 60 65 55 65

    201 400 40 45 35 45

    Less than 201 20 25 18 25

    Pikes hit in the flank are not only unformed, but only half their present fighting factor may

    fight to the front instead of the usual full factor. The usual quarter of the present fighting

    factor may still fight to the engaged flank.

    Crossbows

    For purposes of the missile table class crossbows as Bow fire at under 75mm range but at all

    ranges. Crossbow armed units may only fire at the end of the fire move due to the lengthy

    loading time.

    Maximum range will be 200mm.

    Add 10 factors when crossbows are engaging armoured cavalry targets.

    Halberds

    Class these weapons as Pikes but deduct 20 factors when engaged by military units.

    Rockets

    Class as artillery (War engines) with a maximum range of 500mm.

    A unit taking casualties from rocket fire will immediately take a morale test as will all mounted

    units along the line of flight of the rockets.

    Units taking casualties will be classed as under missile fire and unformed during that move.

    Units along the line of flight will be classed as unformed for that move.

    Poleaxe and mace armed units

    Class these weapons as 2HCWs.

    Multi-weaponed units

    Units armed with more than one stated weapon may choose which weapon they will use prior

    to engaging in melee. If the unit changes weapons during that melee then it will have a -10

    factor in that melee round.

    Seleucid elephant units

    These counters represent the basic elephant unit and also its escorting light infantry. The

    combined units are armed with javelin and slings, and when using missile fire halve the units

    present fighting factor for each type of weapon. When engaged in a melee use the units full

    present fighting factor.

    Cantabrian Circles

    These were formed by missile armed light cavalry, they were a loose circular formation with a

    hollow centre, thus enabling a unit to bring all its weapons to bear upon the enemy in a very

    short time, whilst moving at a fast rate, making it harder to hit. The hollow formation allowed

    the unit to evade at a fast rate if attacked.

    1. To Form, or to break up, a Cantabrian Circle, deduct 10mm from the forward

    movement, and place one of the circles provided under the unit counter to show the

    new formation. Once formed, no movement from the spot is allowed, except as in 4

    below.

    2. When firing from a Cantabrian Circle, increase the fire factor by 10. When firing at a

    unit in a Cantabrian Circle, count that unit as a moving target. Firing may be done

    from any part of the circular marker.

    3. If charged, a Cantabrian Circle must evade a full move, as in the basic rules, and it will

    no longer be classed as a Cantabrian Circle. (NOTE: There is no penalty, in this case,

    for the breaking up of the Circle).

    4. The Circle may retreat up to 100mm, in front of an advancing enemy in the enemy's

    move turn, without affecting its movement. If contacted, whilst in a Circle, a unit will

    count as being unformed, and will only be able to melee with half its present fighting

    factor.

  • Britons Britain was not unknown to the Classical world. As early as the 4th century BC, the Greeks,

    Phoenicians and Carthaginians traded for Cornish tin. The Greeks refer to the Cassiterides, or

    "tin islands", and describe them as being situated somewhere near the west coast of Europe.

    The Carthaginian sailor Himilco is said to have visited the island in the 5th century BC and the

    Greek explorer Pytheas in the 4th. But it was regarded as a place of mystery, with some writers

    even refusing to believe it existed at all.

    The first direct Roman contact came when the Roman general and future dictator, Julius

    Caesar, made two expeditions to Britain in 55 and 54 BC as an offshoot of his conquest of Gaul,

    believing the Britons had been helping the Gallic resistance. The first expedition, more a

    reconnaissance than a full invasion, gained a foothold on the coast of Kent but, undermined by

    storm damage to the ships and a lack of cavalry, was unable to advance further. The

    expedition was a military failure, but was at least a political success. The Roman Senate

    declared a 20-day public holiday in Rome in honour of the unprecedented achievement of

    obtaining hostages from Britain and defeating Belgian tribes on returning to the continent.

    In his second invasion, Caesar took with him a substantially larger force and proceeded to

    coerce or invite many of the native Celtic tribes to pay tribute and give hostages in return for

    peace. A friendly local king, Mandubracius, was installed, and his rival, Cassivellaunus, was

    brought to terms. Hostages were taken, but historians disagree over whether the tribute

    agreed was paid by the Britons after Caesar's return to Gaul with his forces.

    Caesar had conquered no territory and had left behind no troops, but had established clients

    on the island and had brought Britain into Rome's sphere of political influence. Augustus

    planned invasions in 34, 27 and 25 BC, but circumstances were never favourable, and the

    relationship between Britain and Rome settled into one of diplomacy and trade. Strabo,

    writing late in Augustus's reign, claims that taxes on trade brought in more annual revenue

    than any conquest could. Likewise, archaeology shows an increase in imported luxury goods in

    south-eastern Britain. Strabo also mentions British kings who sent embassies to Augustus and

    Augustus' own Res Gestae refers to two British kings he received as refugees. When some of

    Tiberius's ships were carried to Britain in a storm during his campaigns in Germany in 16 AD,

    they were sent back by local rulers, telling tall tales of monsters.

    Rome appears to have encouraged a balance of power in southern Britain, supporting two

    powerful kingdoms: the Catuvellauni, ruled by the descendants of Tasciovanus, and the

    Atrebates, ruled by the descendants of Commius. This policy was followed until 39 or 40, when

    Caligula received an exiled member of the Catuvellaunian dynasty and staged an invasion of

    Britain that collapsed in farcical circumstances before it had even left Gaul. When Claudius

    successfully invaded in 43, it was in aid of another fugitive British ruler, this time Verica of the

    Atrebates.

    The invasion force in 43 was led by Aulus Plautius. It is not known how many Roman legions

    were sent; only one legion, the II Augusta, commanded by the future emperor Vespasian, is

    directly attested to have taken part. The IX Hispana, the XIV Gemina (later styled Martia

    Victrix) and the XX (later styled Valeria Victrix) are attested in 60/61 during the Boudican

    Revolt, and are likely to have been there since the initial invasion. However, the Roman Army

    was flexible, with units being used and moved whenever necessary, so this is not certain. Only

    the Legio IX Hispana is likely to have stayed there, as it is attested to being in residence at

    Eburacum (York) in 71 and on a building inscription there dated 108, before its eventual

    destruction fighting in the East, likely during the Bar Kochba Revolt.

    The invasion was delayed by a mutiny of the troops, who were eventually persuaded by an

    imperial freedman to overcome their fear of crossing the Ocean and campaigning beyond the

    limits of the known world. They sailed in three divisions, and probably landed at Richborough

    in Kent, although some suggest that at least part of the invasion force landed on the south

    coast, in the Fishbourne area of West Sussex.

    The Romans defeated the Catuvellauni and their allies in two battles: the first, assuming a

    Richborough landing, on the river Medway, the second on the Thames. One of the

    Catuvellaunian leaders, Togodumnus, was killed, but his brother Caratacus survived to

    continue resistance elsewhere. Plautius halted at the Thames and sent for Claudius, who

    arrived with reinforcements, including artillery and elephants, for the final march to the

    Catuvellaunian capital, Camulodunum (Colchester). The future emperor Vespasian subdued

    the southwest, Cogidubnus was set up as a friendly king of several territories, and treaties

    were made with tribes outside the area under direct Roman control.

  • Gallic By the 2nd century BC, France was called Gaul (Gallia Transalpina) by the Romans. In his Gallic

    Wars, Julius Caesar distinguishes among three ethnic groups in Gaul: the Belgae in the north

    (roughly between Rhine and Seine), the Celts in the center and in Armorica, and the Aquitani

    in the southwest, the southeast being already colonized by the Romans. While some scholars

    believe the Belgae south of the Somme were a mixture of Celtic and Germanic elements, their

    ethnic affiliations have not been definitively resolved.

    Northern Belgic tribes like the Nervians, Atrebates or Morini appear to be Germanic tribes who

    migrated from the Germanic hinterland and adopted Celtic language and customs, as all of the

    names of their leaders and towns are Celtic. In addition to the Gauls, there were other peoples

    living in Gaul, such as the Greeks and Phoenicians who had established outposts such as

    Massilia (present-day Marseille) along the Mediterranean coast. Also, along the southeastern

    Mediterranean coast, the Ligures had merged with the Celts to form a Celto-Ligurian culture.

    In the 2nd century BC, Mediterranean Gaul had an extensive urban fabric and was prosperous,

    while the best known cities in northern Gaul include the Biturigian capital of Avaricum

    (Bourges), Cenabum (Orlans), Autricum (Chartres) and the excavated site of Bibracte near

    Autun in Sane-et-Loire, along with a number of hillforts (or oppida) used in times of war. The

    prosperity of Mediterranean Gaul encouraged Rome to respond to pleas for assistance from

    the inhabitants of Massilia, who were under attack by a coalition of Ligures and Gauls. The

    Romans intervened in Gaul in 125 BC, and by 121 BC they had conquered the Mediterranean

    region called Provincia (later named Gallia Narbonensis). This conquest upset the ascendancy

    of the Gaulish Arverni tribe.The Roman proconsul and general Julius Caesar pushed his army

    into Gaul in 58 BC, on the pretext of assisting Rome's Gaullish allies against the migrating

    Helvetii. With the help of various Gallic tribes (for example, the Aedui) he managed to conquer

    nearly all of Gaul. But the Arverni tribe, under their Chieftain Vercingetorix, still defied Roman

    rule. Julius Caesar was checked by Vercingetorix at a siege of Gergorvia, a fortified town in the

    center of Gaul. Caesar's alliances with many Gallic tribes broke. Even the Aedui, their most

    faithful supporters, threw in their lot with the Arverni, but the ever loyal Remi (best known for

    its cavalry) and Lingones sent troops to support Caesar. The Germani of the Ubii also sent

    cavalry, which Caesar equipped with Remi horses. Caesar captured Vercingetorix in the Battle

    of Alesia, which ended the majority of Gallic resistance to Rome.

    As many as a million people (probably 1 in 5 of the Gauls) died, another million were enslaved,

    300 tribes were subjugated and 800 cities were destroyed during the Gallic Wars. The entire

    population of the city of Avaricum (Bourges) (40,000 in all) were slaughtered. During Julius

    Caesar's campaign against the Helvetii (present-day Switzerland) approximately 60% of the

    tribe was destroyed, and another 20% was taken into slavery.

    The Gaulish culture then was massively submerged by Roman culture, Latin was adopted by

    the Gauls; Gaul, or Gallia, was absorbed into the Roman Empire, all the administration

    changed, and Gauls eventually became Roman citizens. From the third to 5th centuries, Gaul

    was exposed to raids by the Franks. The Gallic Empire, consisting of the provinces of Gaul,

    Britannia, and Hispania, including the peaceful Baetica in the south, broke away from Rome

    from 260 to 273.

    Following the Frankish victory at the Battle of Soissons in 486 AD, Gaul (except for Septimania)

    came under the rule of the Merovingians, the first kings of France. Gallo-Roman culture, the

    Romanized culture of Gaul under the rule of the Roman Empire, persisted particularly in the

    areas of Gallia Narbonensis that developed into Occitania, Gallia Cisalpina and to a lesser

    degree, Aquitania. The formerly Romanized north of Gaul, once it had been occupied by the

    Franks, would develop into Merovingian culture instead. Roman life, centered on the public

    events and cultural responsibilities of urban life in the res publica and the sometimes luxurious

    life of the self-sufficient rural villa system, took longer to collapse in the Gallo-Roman regions,

    where the Visigoths largely inherited the status quo in the early 5th century. Gallo-Roman

    language persisted in the northeast into the Silva Carbonaria that formed an effective cultural

    barrier, with the Franks to the north and east, and in the northwest to the lower valley of the

    Loire, where Gallo-Roman culture interfaced with Frankish culture in a city like Tours and in

    the person of that Gallo-Roman bishop confronted with Merovingian royals, Gregory of Tours.

  • Goth In the first attested incursion in Thrace the Goths were mentioned as Boranoi by Zosimus, and

    then as Boradoi by Gregory Thaumaturgus. The first incursion of the Roman Empire that can

    be attributed to Goths is the sack of Histria in 238. Several such raids followed in subsequent

    decades, in particular the Battle of Abrittus in 251, led by Cniva, in which the Roman Emperor

    Decius was killed. At the time, there were at least two groups of Goths: the Thervingi and the

    Greuthungi. Goths were subsequently heavily recruited into the Roman Army to fight in the

    Roman-Persian Wars, notably participating at the Battle of Misiche in 242.

    The first seaborne raids took place in three subsequent years, probably 255-257. An

    unsuccessful attack on Pityus was followed in the second year by another which sacked by

    Pityus and Trapezus and ravaged large area in the Pontus. In the third year a much larger force

    devastated large areas of Bithynia and the Propontis, including the cities of Chalcedon,

    Nicomedia, Nicaea, Apamea, Cius and Prusa.

    After a 10 year gap, the Goths, along with the Heruli, another Germanic tribe from

    Scandinavia, raiding on 500 ships, sacked Heraclea Pontica, Cyzicus and Byzantium. They were

    defeated by the Roman navy but managed to escape into the Aegean Sea, where they ravaged

    the islands of Lemnos and Scyros, broke through Thermopylae and sacked several cities of

    southern Greece (province of Achaea) including Athens, Corinth, Argos, Olympia and Sparta.

    Then an Athenian militia, led by the historian Dexippus, pushed the invaders to the north

    where they were intercepted by the Roman army under Gallienus. He won an important

    victory near the Nessos (Nestos) river, on the boundary between Macedonia and Thrace, with

    the aid of the Dalmatian cavalry. Reported barbarian casualties were 3,000 men.

    Subsequently, the Heruli leader Naulobatus came to terms with the Romans.

    After Gallienus was assassinated outside Milan in the summer of 268 in a plot led by high

    officers in his army, Claudius was proclaimed emperor and headed to Rome to establish his

    rule. Claudius' immediate concerns were with the Alamanni, who had invaded Raetia and Italy.

    After he defeated them in the Battle of Lake Benacus, he was finally able to take care of the

    invasions in the Balkan provinces.

    In the meantime, the second and larger sea-borne invasion had started. An enormous coalition

    consisting of Goths (Greuthungi and Thervingi), Gepids and Peucini, led again by the Heruli,

    assembled at the mouth of river Tyras (Dniester). The Augustan History and Zosimus claim a

    total number of 2,0006,000 ships and 325,000 men. This is probably a gross exaggeration but

    remains indicative of the scale of the invasion. After failing to storm some towns on the coasts

    of the western Black Sea and the Danube (Tomi, Marcianopolis), the invaders attacked

    Byzantium and Chrysopolis. Part of their fleet was wrecked, either because of the Gothic

    inexperience in sailing through the violent currents of the Propontis or because it was

    defeated by the Roman navy. Then they entered the Aegean Sea and a detachment ravaged

    the Aegean islands as far as Crete, Rhodes and Cyprus. The fleet probably also sacked Troy and

    Ephesus, destroying the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

    While their main force had constructed siege works and was close to taking the cities of

    Thessalonica and Cassandreia, it retreated to the Balkan interior at the news that the emperor

    was advancing. On their way, they plundered Doberus (Paionia ?) and Pelagonia.

    Learning of the approach of Claudius, the Goths first attempt to directly invade Italy. They are

    engaged near Naissus by a Roman army led by Claudius advancing from the north. The battle

    most likely took place in 269, and was fiercely contested. Large numbers on both sides were

    killed but, at the critical point, the Romans tricked the Goths into an ambush by pretended

    flight. Some 50,000 Goths were allegedly killed or taken captive and their base at Thessalonika

    destroyed. It seems that Aurelian who was in charge of all Roman cavalry during Claudius'

    reign, led the decisive attack in the battle. Some survivors were resettled within the empire,

    while others were incorporated into the Roman army. The battle ensured the survival of the

    Roman Empire for another two centuries. In 270, after the death of Claudius, Goths under the

    leadership of Cannabaudes again launch an invasion on the Roman Empire, but were defeated

    by Aurelian, who however surrendered Dacia beyond the Danube.

    Major sources for Gothic history include Ammianus Marcellinus' Res gestae, which mentions

    Gothic involvement in the civil war between emperors Procopius and Valens of 365 and

    recounts the Gothic refugee crisis and revolt of 37682, and Procopius' de bello gothico, which

    describes the Gothic war of 53552.

    In 332 Constantine helped the Sarmatians to settle on the north banks of the Danube to

    defend against the Goths' attacks and thereby enforce the Roman Empire's border. Around

    100,000 Goths were reportedly killed in battle, and Ariaricus, son of the King of the Goths, was

    captured. In 334, Constantine evacuated approximately 300,000 Sarmatians from the north

    bank of the Danube after a revolt of the Sarmatians' slaves. From 335 to 336, Constantine,

    continuing his Danube campaign, defeated many Gothic tribes. Both the Greuthungi and

    Thervingi became heavily Romanized during the 4th century. This came about through trade

    with the Byzantines, as well as through Gothic membership of a military covenant, which was

    based in Byzantium and involved pledges of military assistance. Reportedly, 40,000 Goths were

    brought by Constantine to defend Constantinople in his later reign, and the Palace Guard was

    mostly composed of Germans, as the quality of the native Romans troops kept declining. The

    Goths were converted to Arianism by Ulfila during this time.
