Saxon Raid

Bicca, AKA Dave came over to OHQ earlier today to command the horrible Saxons in a raid on Ednas  farm to steal cereal and pigs.
We use heavily (very now) modified Neil Thomas rules, today we would be testing the latest modifications, using my re-organised units.
Photos of the action follow to give an idea of the encounter, the Britons had to dice for their arrival point on table which lead to them being hemmed in as you will see.

Until....The Seax Are Here!

Wait, Help Is At Hand

The Saxons Surge Forward As The Britons Morale Collapses

Bicca Watches As The Captured Goods Are Taken Away

A crushing defeat for the Britons, Bicca is fast replacing the late, hardly lamented Penda Fudd as the bane of Briton.
There will be a few more amendments to the rules before the next outing, nothing major just a little fine tuning to give us the game we want to play, I hope to get a couple of skirmish units, one for each side done before then.

Next week an ECW bash over at GHQ, to try and get our heads further round Pike and Shot

    Super terrain, marvellous figures, excellent game, great company, oh, and I won! What's not to like? By the by, I'd quite forgotten Penda Fudd had expired!

      Bicca is quite partial to a bacon sandwich.
