Romans v. Parthians – De Bellis Antiquitatis – 1st Century BCE

This week we’re stepping WAY back through history, using the De Bellis Antiquitatis system to try out some ancient warfare. Specifically we’re putting some Republic-Era Romans up against the Parthian Empire of the modern-day Iran.

De Bellis Antiquitatis is a light, fast playing system that allows ancients or medieval combat between armies across a vast swath of history. Players can often easily get two or three games into a productive afternoon.

We hope you like this episode, where the Sitrep Podcast is trying to broaden our range a little and cover a wider stretch of military historical wargaming.
