Baggage
Camp and other buildings
Baggage Camp
In some campaigns a baggage camp is used. To represent this camp I made a paper model. It is 8" wide and deep.
The paper baggage camp in it's full glory.
Baggage Camps can be fun in a WAB battle. You can use in a lot of different ways:
-
Allow the enemy to capture it, gaining 100 or 200 victory points.
-
Use it in a scenario to free captured soldiers if you control the enemy's camp.
-
A large camp can be the centerpiece of a siege scenario.
-
And last but not least: it looks cool on the battle field.

below. Print it on thick paper. Cut it out. Fold at the black lines and glue the
white flaps to the inside of the construction. You may glue the bottom to a
piece of cardboard for more strength.
The wall is an 5" embankment with a wooden fence on it. You can cut the top to the fence into points to better show the sharp top of the stakes. You can also make a main gate by shortening two wall sections by 3" thus leaving an opening of 1".
The tower consists of 3 parts. The body, the top and the base. The base is optional and can be glued to the green part of the body.
The ditch consists of two parts. The ditch itself, and a footbridge.

You can also easily build "non Roman" camps with tooth sticks as palisades and pieces of cloth as tents. Add a few prisoners and a few animals, or even some carts and you are ready.
