As is my want, I like to set up dioramas and vignettes on my game table for a variety of reasons. One reason is to take figures that I have not seen for awhile and get them out of storage and on to the table top. Another reason is to set out my armies for a project and make an assessment of its progress at this point in time.

John Jenkins Designs 54mm Republican Roman

I have placed my Punic War Carthaginians and Romans on my game table to see how things are looking, project wise, and I set up a camp or town vignette for Team Roman.

Two Republican Roman legions form up on the field of Mars.

Giving equal time to Hannibal and his Carthaginians, as one is want to do.

Most of the figures shown in the vignettes are either 54mm or 60mm John Jenkins Designs or King & Country figures plus a few odd figures from hither and yon thrown in for good measure. I like to peruse the internet looking for likely inhabitants of my camp and town vignettes. The first picture below shows a strategy meeting among the Roman high command.

Julius Caesar (I know, he wasn't in the Punic Wars but he looks good in the vignette),
a Senator and a Tribune are checking out a map at the commander's tent.

Stay tuned for more pictures over the coming days and weeks.
