When the Emperors Trajan and Hadrian waged war against the Dacian Kingdoms, their
legionaries were repeatedly routed by the devastating charges of the Sarmatian cataphracts.
Hadrian responded by creating the first Roman heavy cavalry, the cataphracts, on the model
of their Dacian and middle-eastern foes. These squadrons of heavy cavalry proved to be a
great success and became a regular feature of Roman warfare.

archers, with shorter double-curbed bows which had a lesser range but greater strength and
armour-piercing capacities.

The strongest, most skilled dacian warriors, the falxmen, were greatly feared by their roman
foes for their proficiency with the falx. It was said that they could slice through a helmet or
cleave through a shield in one blow, and legionaries armour had to be reinforced after their
first bruising encounters with these warriors.
Double- handed weapon,
Whirlwind of Steel: Before the beginning of a fight, roll a die. On a 4+, the Falxmen will
strike for the rest of the combat sequence, regardless of the fact that their weapons are
double-handed.
