Goths Gallop Onward
Another outing here at OHQ saw the Goth horde continue it's success on the field against the ageing and hapless Baldinus.
On the left and in the centre both sides advanced cautiously.
Meanwhile over on the right both made probing attacks.
The result saw both falling back in various degrees, however it was the Goths who came back with a vengeance breaking one then another Roman units until all the cavalry of Baldinus had quit the field.
With the Roman right decimated Baldinus forms his infantry into a mobile square and slowly quits the field conceding more territory to the Goth invaders.
Victorious once again Bikka looks on with satisfaction and consolidates.
Short, Sweet, and Victorious! That’s the way to to it!
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Baldinus could have carried on but with five units of Goth cavalry roaming round and four warbands a victory wasn't on the cards one feels😟
DeleteThe field army is ready to march should you need it Phil. Lovely troops.
ReplyDeleteThank you George. Do the field army have the dice gods on side?
DeleteBeautiful troops.
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm.
ReplyDeleteA pleasure to use such a beautiful collection! Your dice though...🙄
ReplyDeleteThank you, glad you enjoyed it. Must be the worst lot of dice rolling I have ever done. New dice please!🔨
DeleteGreat looking troops!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray.
DeleteSuperb looking troops Phil!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thank you Christopher most kind.
DeleteCrikey! Those are fine looking model soldiers. Very nice indeed 😎
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind endorsement Matt.
DeleteI enjoyed this one. Goths are a great army especially when the dice favour them. Which rules do you use? I use a variation of TFL's Dux Brit. I've run out of figures to paint for this era - something I should rectify. Thanks for the inspirational report.
ReplyDeleteall the best

Thank you Stephen. We usually use Neil Thomas's Ancient and Medieval rules but after a long hiatus we have switched to Hail Caesar for our recent games.
DeleteAlways good to see this beautiful collection on the table Phil…
ReplyDeleteJust what have you done to offend the dice gods so much 😳.
All the best. Aly
Thank you Aly. I think they just hate me period particularly yesterday they must have been in a really bad mood.
DeleteOh dear…… Phil. But a lovely looking. Battle 👍
ReplyDeleteYup, one of those (many) days.
ReplyDeleteSuper looking game and toys! The figures are mostly Footsore yes?
ReplyDeleteCheers
Matt
Thank you Matt. Yes the Goths are indeed mostly Footsore with some odd Gripping Beast and Foundry Casting Room figures.
DeleteAbsolutely stunning collection there Phil! Great looking game, but new dice may well be on the cards I would think?
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul. New dice in the list for Partizan 😁
