Rule(?) Brittania.

Dieus Cassius Elpus,Rome's(!) finest,is marching his force of 2 Imperial Legions,plus 3 Auxiliary Legions,Cavalry and archers,deep into the Northunbrian Hills,intent on subduing a little known tribe called the Jee-Ordii.

His every move is being watched by the tribe,and when he moves out from his camp,in a long column,the Jee-Ordii pounce-hoping to hit the column from both sides. 

Top photo shows Dieus Cassius Elpus,Rome's Finest!!  Bottom photo shows the long snaking column,with just a hint of barbarians!!!

Chariots attacking from the column's right,and Tribes attacking from the left!

Tribes attacking the head of the column-the cavalry in front of the tribes hindered their advance-big mistake?

The chariots have "bounced" off the tail end Aux. legion,the whole column is under considerable pressure now,the central Imperial legion is suffering badly!!

Second wave of chariots are attacking,cavalry on the left hand hill are about to lock horns.

Cavalry battle in full swing,both legions are engaged-some good dice throws from the Romans saw some minor successes,but still 50/50.

A couple of chariots have actually made contact,the rest "bounced" again-the Aux. made short work of the two that contacted-hurrah!

The tribes attacking the head of the column are now ready to go as their cavalry has been soundly beaten and have had to retire(it's good being retired!)

Oh dear! one complete Imperial Legion has been wiped out!!-this leaves the open flank of the next Legion very vulnerable,and they too could be lost-what to do ??????

Well,in the grand old tradition,that is to"dog" his family for centuries to come,Dieus Cassius Elpus,Rome's Finest(!) decides that he mis-read the omens,and now he had better get back over the border and attend to business there!!-the shame of it!!!!

I would try and get back to the fort if I was you!!

Another interesting solo 15mm game-poor old Elpus,will he ever win a battle?
