But the 1st Century BC is THE BEST TIME. You get more enemies than anyone else to fight. Arabs, Armenians, Britons, Gauls, Germans, Greeks, Iberians, Illyrians, Italian Allies, Jews, Nubians, Numidians, Parthians, Pirates, Pontics, other Romans, and of course slaves.

I think it's partly because for some reason figure manufacturers have tended to do 'Imperials' first and then 'Mid-Republicans'. After they've done those two ranges they feel tired of Romans and move on.
Granted there are some good C1 BC ranges out there now but the others do dominate

I like the idea of the parts of both Elite and Green becoming modular. So Red Dice and Green Dice, extra deployment distance, even increased/decreased chances to be hit (situationally). It allows for very well led but raw troops and highly experienced but 'sticky' veterans.
