Argentoratum/Strasbourg refight

This our clubs upcoming game  in June on the 17th of June. Between, Dave, Richard and myself we decided back in Feb to put together a refight of Argentoratum. I have been slowly working through my Roman army and also Daves! Along with this I have also been madly painting the Alamannic army, with only about a week to go it will be tight but worth it! I am yet to base any figures for the game hence no recent posts of painted figures so I have put together a list of waht is done and what needs doing!!!!! We will be playing with the Impetus rules which I am still reading at the moment!
