Off go the Chariots on the right

'Ooohh!' Syracusan Auxilia taking a moment to 'contemplate their surroundings..'

The sound of Gallic shield bashing gets closer.

Jack forms a protective ring around his 'Stonehenge'.
______________________________
Hhhmmm, strange one Jack. He stops his advance & waits for the attack.
______________________________
'Oh yes!' I fancy this one is going to go my way for once.
______________________________
A poor start, but not a disaster. The Gallic Chariot Boys get repulsed.
______________________________
The Gallic Chieftan Virdumarus watches the flank, a lone Warband crosses to field to help.
The rest of the lads get ready to pile in.
______________________________
Spear versus Warband, who would win through?????
______________________________
The Chariot Boys try again......
______________________________
'RaHoo!!!' Down goes the Syracusan Cavalry.
______________________________
In go the lads!!! LOOK at that open space on the flank.
______________________________
Not a peep from the Syracusan Light Brigade on this side of the field.
They would remain static for the rest of the game.
______________________________
Even losses this round, but the Gauls are winning the battle.
______________________________
OOOO so close.... The Syracusan King is on the ropes & LOOSES the combat. Luckily for Jack, King Hieronymus has the ROCK HARD ability, a KILL become a RECOIL......
______________________________
On his round, Jack takes revenge & quickly eliminates the Gallic upstarts.
______________________________
My turn & it's looking good!!!
______________________________
RaHoo!! RaHoo!! Victory for the Gauls.....
______________________________
HA HA HA!! Where's the LOOT!!!!
______________________________
Final view of the field from Jacks side of the table.
______________________________
'Look! There he is, quickly Vitomus blow your big horn at him!!!'
______________________________
Well, well, Jack is well & truly 'Whooped' in this one & he knows it. Spear vs Warband is a tough one. HEY, I can only beat what is put in front of me...... ;o)
I just love the 'mini-campaigns' you are all playing... wonderful stuff.. and great for making sure the younger generals have an appreciation of history.
ReplyDeleteObscure question: Is that a GW 'battle mat' you use on your table?
Cheers
Robin
Cheers Robin!
ReplyDeleteIt's a scenic mat that you get from Railway Model Shops. It's cut to shape & glued down to a
30"x30" MDF board.
All the Best mate

Ah yes... and no doubt much cheaper than the GW equivalent..LOL
ReplyDeleteI use 36"x36" squares of green felt.
Played my first DBA with Humberside extensions yesterday.. ECW.. played very nicely. My Parliamentarians lost the flank to the superior Rpyalist cavalry, and it was all downhill from there as my opponent rolled up the flank of my pike and shot centre..
All good fun until someone gets a pointed stick in the eye...LOL
Cheers
Robin
Good Stuff, The Humberside Extensions are brilliant & they give a great game. The Army Lists are fantastic & BIG help in getting into another period.
ReplyDeleteWell done to Tony Barr.
Cheers MrF
