The Roman Empire rules the civilised world with an iron fist seemingly all-powerful and limitless. And yet the power of Rome is secured not by its mighty legions but by small bands of warriors and agents fighting a secret war. Tasked by the Emperor to explore ancient temples forgotten labyrinths and beast-haunted caverns they seek out artefacts hidden by the gods themselves hunt creatures of myth and face enemies that would use dark magic against the empire. Broken Legions is a set of fantasy skirmish rules for a war unknown to history fought in the shadows of the Roman Empire. Various factions recruit small warbands to fight in tight scenario-driven battles that could secure the mystical power to defend or crush Rome. A points system allows factions to easily build a warband and mercenaries and free agents may also be hired to bolster a force. Heroes and leaders may possess a range of skills traits and magical abilities but a henchman''s blade can be just as sharp and a campaign can see even the lowliest henchman become a hero of renown. .
