Rome V Goths

Pictures and brief narrative of our recent game using Kings Of War Historical rules.

 Initial moves, the Roman lanciarii can be seen routing in the distance, they took an instant dislike to the Goths shooting sharp pointy things at them.

 Goth cavalry attempt to turn the Roman flank

 They are countered by Roman Moorish Light Cavalry, who lived up to their sobriquet "Ferocious Moors"

 Roman Equites rout the first of the Goth cavalry

 Legionaries and Goth warriors clash in the centre, the Goths held initially.

 Both sides line up for the final clash.

 The rest of the Goth cavalry are routed

 Leaving the foot warriors at the mercy of Roman legionaries and auxillia

A Goth foot unit also breaks, spelling the end of the battle on the tenth turn of twelve

An enjoyable game but we both agreed that the Goths needed more numbers to stand a chance of winning,
