This past Sunday was tine for some more gaming. Duncan and Ben wanted to practice a game of Art de la Gurere for the tournament.
They had 300 points of Alexander's army vs my Roman's with Dacian allies.
Heres the set up. We have the legions on the left, allies on the right. Alexander has a bunch of pike facing the Roman's with some light stuff to tie up the allies.
Alexander marches straight in.
We take A more measured approach. But the pikes are always eager to charge as you can see!
The lines clash. First round goes pretty even. All things considered.
Main lines fully in battle now, even the Daciams are getting close to fighting. We are loosing the cavalry fight, but luckily ended up anchored by the field. Had allot of lucky rolls this turn so it swung back to us a bit.
Time for the Dacians to flank. Both main lines are pretty beat up at this point with lots of disruptions.
Units start breaking. Things are looking a bit grim. But we are holding them off for now. The Dacians are well into on the right.
A mounted Roman general has to fight off the elite pikes!
But he wins and kills them! We are getting some lucky fights and pushing back.
But its not enough and the pikes smash through our lines, breaking our army.
Was a fun game actually decently close. I realized at the end the Roman's have armour we could have benefited from saving a few hits. Probably would have made it even closer, need to remember that for next time!
Off to Cold Wars in a few days so look forward to that coverage.
Thanks;
Mike
