My on-going campaign has now moved to the wilds of Scotland,where the two beleaguered Legions will have to face a confederation of Caledonian tribes,at Newstead Fort,on the river Tweed.
The Roman dispositions-looks like the Auxiliaries are going to do a bit of fighting!
The Caledonians have turned up then!-spoiling for a fight!
An overall view of the table-every 15mm figure is deployed.
A view from the Caledonian right against the 24th Auxiliaries!!
A view from Scrotum's hill-just where a General should be-well away from the fighting and mounted on a horse,just in case!!!!!
I will probably fight this battle on Wednesday or Thursday of this week,and I am looking forward to it!
Pull the auxilia back!!! If they get a hiding they’ll struggle to get back over the swollen river. Unless it’s a ploy to get the barbarians to attack...?
ReplyDeleteChris,Crustinuts has a simple but cynical plan-let his non-Romans do the fighting and take the casualties-poor old auxiliaries!

Love the view from behind the Caledonian host. Makes the Roman force look so wee. Definitely want a game with this fab collection when Boris permits such behaviour. Possibly of a game via Zoom on Saturday with a friend in Nottingham and another friend in Bradford
ReplyDeleteChris-wish I had some friends!
