Battle of "Twatling Street"

We played this game last night and it was great!!-same old jokes/banter etc. but what more
could you ask for?

This is the terrain map and scenario-we picked sides,and Dave and I were the British Tribal commanders,whilst Paul,Graham and Brian were the Romans.

It was action from move one-top photo shows my "rush" for the hill to my front-Paul retired (it's good being retired!) his troops and took up a defensive line further back-wise old fox!!! Bottom photo shows Dave's attack on Graham,holding the central position-this was a disaster for Dave-his dice throwing was atrocious to say the least,and things were looking bad for his warbands!!

Dave is being pushed back-all it needed to break his warbands was an attack on his flank and rear by Brian's cohorts-but Brian "dithered" giving Dave a hope!-I very generously sent my chariots to help,and between us we stabilised the position!!

Top photo shows Brian's troops advancing against Dave's warbands-this was a real tussle with officers going down like "nine-pins" Brian commanded the first cohort,which had stupidly high points,but were not committed!!!-Bottom photo shows my warbands eventually pushing Paul's troops back-this was tremendous wargaming,with Paul putting fresh cohorts into the fight against my exhausted warbands,but numbers would tell in the end.

Conrasting looks-top photo,DESPAIR-bottom photo-SMUGNESS!!!! The game was nearing the end,and Dave's fortunes were looking up with melee wins and push-backs,meanwhile,me versus Paul......................

I have broken the Roman line-hurrah!! but what of the "Chuckle Brothers"................

Oh there they are-arms folded,pouting,defeated,LOSERS ,LOSERS!!!!

This was a great game and there really weren't any losers-long may it go on,next week we will be two short(Dave and Paul) so I might put on a Zulu game for myself,Graham and Brian.
