ONUS! Triumviratus - Army XVI Pompeius

You need the book Triumviratus and the base game ONUS! Traianus or ONUS! Pack to play the scenarios specific to this army -- You can use this box as a reinforcement for your copy of ONUS! in any other scenario.

Rome is in turmoil…

In 59 B.C. Gaius Iulius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus and Marcus Licinius Crassus, facing the intransigence of the Roman Senate towards their particular projects and ambitions, sealed an informal political pact commonly known as the First Triumvirate. Thus was born a “three-headed monster”, in Varron’s words, destined to change the course of the history of the Roman State.

Triumviratus is a versatile expansion of the ONUS! series that gives you the opportunity to take command of the armies of Gaius Iulius Caesar, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus, Marcus Licinius Crassus and the civitates of Gaul, as well as an extensive selection of entirely new allied and mercenary forces, to immerse yourself directly in the armed conflicts that changed the course of the history of Rome, Europe and the Middle East between 59 and 44 BC..

Pompeius Army Box puts this great Roman general at the head of his army, as well as his sons, Pompeius Junion and Sextus Pompeius, along with the Republic’s outstanding hero Metellus Scipio, determined to defend the Roman State from Caesar’s ambitions… and in favor of their own! To accomplish these objectives, the experienced Pompeian commanders count on a plethora of Mario’s mules, antesignani “special forces”, and numerous conscripts to overwhelm the enemy, but also on allies harvested by the powerful gens Pompeii in Hispania, such as the Iberian scutati and the Hispanic Vernacular legion, ready to serve their patrons to the death. Scipio added to these hosts the Numidian infantry and elephants recruited in Africa -sometimes in very persuasive ways-, to crush anyone who dared to oppose them, no matter how powerful or how many victories they had won in battle.
