There's a rivlary between Britain and Switzerland? That is wierd. I thought you Britons hated the French more than anyone. As for the swiss, I thought they just hated everybody.

Info on Barbarian Invasion From PCGAMERUK

- Not here until the autumn
- Set as Rome begins to fall 363AD
- Mini campaign that should only last 20 hours
- Ten factions to play as
- Each faction has their own objective
- Three factions mentioned:
...- Saxons who must invade and take Britain while Rome retreats
...- Huns (no objective given)
...- Rome (no objective given)
- Can choose to wait to attack at night if you are the army attacking
- Light troops can swim across rivers but will be dangerously exposed and tired upon exit
- And Romans can build elephants

Oh and there is a really disturbing picture of a unit of priests with clubs. I'm not entirely sure if that is particulary historical. (But the Saxons look incredible).

I was rather hoping they'd do a expack set in the late empire. If it starts in 363 AD, hopefully it will have the Eastern and Western Empire in it, plus the Sassanids. I have a question for the history buffs here- what sort of troops did the Romans use att hat stage? I heard their infantry equipment was rather different to that of the legionaries in the era R: TW covers.
