I neglected to mention this earlier, but I finally purchased Field of Glory and subsequently ordered and purchased two expansions, Rise of Rome: Republican Rome at War and Legions Triumphant: Imperial Rome at War. And so another addiction is added to my maladies, or rather two addictions: Field of Glory expansion books and historical miniatures. The former is the new addiction, the latter is one that was lying dormant. The problem with satisfying the latter (other than the cost) is the limited availability of historical miniatures, at least in my locale. I realize ordering is the solution, but it’s also a more expensive solution when shipping costs are considered. It will be a long time before I can afford to field armies of pewter miniatures, and I do not want to wait that long before playing, but I might be able to buy some plastic historical miniatures for less. I believe Airfix made a number of 15 mm plastic armies that will suffice in the meantime. As for the availability of those, I’ll have to look into it.
N.B. I was just made aware of a special Field of Glory Web site apart from the Osprey Publishing site: www.fieldofglory.com.
