The Germans have arrived! The Germans have arrived!

I have now completed my German contingent of 24 Warbands and 7 Cavalry units.................


Top photo shows the entire German army,bottom photo shows a detail of the warbands.


The German cavalry!

Within my campaign,the Semoners have allied themselves to the Parisii,who have agreed to amalgamate with them and beat the Romans-they have agreed a time and place to meet,however,there's always an "however", the Germans have descended on the Parisii and wiped them out!! so the Semones(who are unaware of the situation) will have to face the Romans by themselves!-this is going to be the next battle/game to be fought this week.

Meanwhile,Scrotum Maximus,the hero of Genabum,has narrowly beaten off a raid,by the Semones,on his camp,and is on his way to meet up with Crustinuts and Arsolius-so the Semones will be facing two full legions plus auxiliaries and cavalry!!



These two photo's show the initial attack by the Germans against the Parisii.



Two more photo's showing the Parisii ,infantry and cavalry,being well and truly beaten!


These two photo's show the attack on Scrotum's camp-the auxiliaries and cavalry are away foraging,and could only return on the throw of a 2 or 5-they did,but were not needed!!


The "foragers return,and fight it out with a "blocking force" sent by Horlix,the Semones King.

A breach in the camp walls-this was not too bad,as a couple of cohorts had seen off their respective adversaries,and rushed to help!-The Gauls are taking too many casualties to sustain the assault,and decided to retire(it's good being retired!)


There they go,leaving Scrotum with his first victory commanding his new 24th Legion-note the tents in the camp-a luxury Crustinuts doesn't have-well,not until Scrotum meets up with him!

I am looking forward to the next battle,which,I'm sure will be observed by the Germans,who will, no doubt ,want to take on the winner!!

  2. Its a lovely looking setup John and a credit to your enthusiasm, I note however that you have commercial terrain? Kallistra hexes?? You told me you were always skint. It does look great though, so well done for spending some of your hidden savings.

    1. Robbie-Kallistra was a big spending mistake-bloody things only look good on a perfectly flat surface(and my table isn't!) and plastic clips "pling" off at slightest touch,so I super-glued mine together!!!
