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,

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

Indeed we need many,many more Goths! Still a grand game though despite the heavy odds against me.
ReplyDeleteWell maybe just the one many ;~)
DeleteNice - what size table does that need for your 28's?
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm, not sure what you are asking, but we played on a 6x4 which worked OK with the eight units a side.
DeleteLovely looking figures and scenery.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain, functional but visually pleading is what we strive for.
DeleteInspiring stuff!
ReplyDeleteIf your inspired then it's job done.
DeleteFantastic looking game!

Thank for the endorsement Christopher.
DeleteRight up my street, beautiful figures. I was going to go for the shield mix for the Twelfth but thought I had spent enough, it does look good though. I should perhaps lend you my Lanciarii :)
ReplyDeleteHopeless they were, happy to dish it out last game. But they don't like it up 'em :~)
DeleteA & A are great I asked for a mix and they sent me the recctangular as well. I have found Aventine equally obliging to requests too.
Those armies look stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon, high praise indeed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful armies Phil and a tough struggle...you just need more goths 🙂
ReplyDeleteThanks Matt, we could just say the Goth units are 40 figure units of course ;~)
