The Latin is incorrect I don't have my Latin dictionary and books (still on the barge) however I believe it is:

Venbamus, Vidbamus, Vinbambamus

If I am wrong any other Latin scholars, feel free to correct it. I cannot remember all the verb endings, nor the verbs. It is HOT and conjugating is the last thing on my mind. Present, Perfect, Active, Passsive...grrrrrrr.
After consulting my trusty Wheelock's (oh, I need to get back to school!), the Perfect Imperative Active 1st person plural form of the phrase "veni vidi vici" is:

"venimus vidimus vicimus"

I hope that's right...still about a month until I delve back into the worlds of St. Augustine and Herodotus.
