Gates of Rome Battle layout?

Post by Mefario »

Heya all!

Does anyone here know what the Gates of Rome Battle layout is going to look like? I have some conflicting maps of it currently and would like to iron it out and I cannot seem to find anything on the Pennsic site yet.

Anyone know?

Mooks will carry hay bales into the aproximate shape that one of twelve people who had a hand in designing the Battle thinks it's supposed to look like.

Observe the Stoic, Serious Warrior Culture that is the East.
Yeah, every time I think I'm being too flippant and offhand, I
get a reminder that I could be worse :shock:
Besides, Euric, dontcha think Sir Ix wouldn't stand for such a blatant
disregard for his personal idiom? :D
