Telling About Telamon

THE January/February edition of Slingshot arrived yesterday and is dedicated to the Society of Ancients' 2019 battle day.

Slingshot issue 322 has a model of a Gaulish warrior on the cover

Much of the magazine therefore covers what is known about Rome's defeat of Gaulish tribes at Telamon in 225BC.
Duncan Head's article is especially interesting, and the only disappointment for me is no real discussion of whether the Gauls really mustered 50,000 foot and 20,000 horse/chariots (Ancient generals and their admirers seems to have been particularly prone to exaggerating enemy numbers).
Of the other articles, the one that intrigued me most is Steven Neate's on fighting DBA with 54mm figures.

Slingshot Issue 318

THE May/June 2018 edition of the Society of Ancients' magazine arrived as July was about to give way to August.

The simple but striking cover of the latest issue of Slingshot

Nearly all the articles are about wargaming, with Martin Smith's on a "DBA Scramble" - contestants mainly fight with other people's armies - being particularly interesting.

But the best article for me was the non-wargaming one - Mark Hession detailing a Norman conquest of NE Ireland.
