The Barrier 60AD

We had a good game on Sunday night,Brits against Romans-the "usual" banter,colour and excitement that Ancient games bring-wonderful stuff!

The scenario and table before any movement-Brian and I were the British clans,whilst Dave and Graham were the Roman defenders.

Attack,Attack,Attack!! the first two melees were very even,then both Graham and Dave started to throw "frightful" dice and the British clambered over the wall/barrier,their little tin voices shouting war cries and oaths!!(this,of course, didn't last long as the Romans put their reserves into the fray!)

The open flank,defended by Graham,caused the Romans a bit of concern,and it looked for a while that I might gain the position and roll up the whole Roman army!!!-but I was taking alot of casualties,and Graham was handling his cavalry,in particular, very well-this was going to be tight.

Two shots of the victorious British tribes,sweeping the Romans from the central hill and gaining a foothold over the barrier-this looks too good to last(and it was!)-note Dave's reserves advancing on Brians "knackered" troops!!!!

Top photo shows Brian's troops being pushed back over the barrier,bottom photo shows Graham halting my troops in their tracks-I was losing casualties and officers galore,and couldn't make any headway,but I still had gained the central hill/position,so we called it a draw!!

Another good game,well played lads,and get well soon Paul.
