More Three Ages of Rome and some bonus content

We're continuing to test Three Ages of Rome and this week tried several tweaks:

• Increasing the command radius to 30cm.
• Restricting reforming so you must be 20cm from the enemy.
• Making the Roman army smaller (26 AP vs 30AP for the barbarians)

All three changes seemed to work well and we started to see units breaking more often, making a result possible. We did nt play to break point but Romans had the edge in 2 games and the Gauls in 1. 

Next week we'll try a couple more tweaks. Firstly moving from 3 to 4 commands so its easier with 2 a side. This means commands minimum size will need to be 2 units. 

Secondly we found skirmishers to be too resilient and 2 units side-by-side certainly have a decent chance of defeating massed infantry. So we will trial a -1 on the saving throw in melee, which will balance the +1 saving throw for being shot.
