Much earlier in the week fought a game based upon the battle of Cremona AD 69 which was part of the Year of the Four Emperors civil war. My opponents Roman army was mainly Foundry whilst mine was a heady mix of Irregular, Minifigs, Hinchcliffe etc. It was a fun game marked by some ridiculously good dice throws from me. My Cavalry on the left wing beat their opponents, swung round and attacked the flank of opposing troops. It was over quicker than expected. A few pictures-
Scene from my camp looking across the table…The enemy advancing…
Likewise…
The large cavalry melee from my perspective.
The enemy has been destroyed !
The legions and auxiliary cohorts advancing to contact.
A hard fought melee!
The Romans have set up camp in my friend’s house in their boxes awaiting next week’s game against Celts.
That was a surprise. Nice armies. Your ability to throw good dice will put fear into your opponents.

Dice are powerful friends, fickle though they be. You do have the augurs ready for a repeat performance?
ReplyDeleteReady and waiting…
