Roman armies consisted of Lorica Segmentata from 107 BC onward. (The Marion Reform.)

...
As large as actual Roman Civil War armies? :(o):

...

It would be awsome! So many soldiers! :love: :love: :love:
I hope others can make it with their Roman armies.
This is turning out alot bigger then planned. ;D

I have made a War Elephant out of a rubber band and a steck flooring piece...
There are pics in a thread somewhere.

The rubberband works well for  holding the rider/s on. :)

Awsome Gis,
If you are comming I am sure our side would apperciate the elephants! ;D
(You'd give 'em to us right? ;) I'll be your best friend! ;D )

All you would need to do is grab a rubberband and a steck flooring piece.
Place the floor piece on the elephants back...
Loop the rubberband around the elephants belly...
Secure the floor piece by twisting the rubber band below the belly (forming a loop)...
And loop the loop armound the flooring piece (holding the floor piece down to the elephants back).

TADA! ;D
Since I told you how, you'll help us right?!?!?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I can easily make them into war elephants. However giving therm away is not optimal is we might need them for our Zoo! Sorry WoT no can do! ;D ;D ;D

I would never ask anyone to "give" stuff.
I only meant for the battle. :)
