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.

Until next time, may your dice roll higher than mine today.

    1. Indeed! 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 feels๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

  5. I 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.
    all the best

    1. 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.

    1. Thank you Matt. Yes the Goths are indeed mostly Footsore with some odd Gripping Beast and Foundry Casting Room figures.
