With being unable to attend this weeks gaming it is great to have Andrew W write the blog for this week.

But really Andrew – “Daggmore”?

Unfortunately Daggmore could not make the game today. We missed him.

So it was left to Darius and Attila.

Darius decided to run a Saxon army fielding mostly quality troops. This meant the army was small in numbers.

Attila ran a large Romano British army made up of cheap troops, a Saxon ally and one extra command pip.

In the picture Attila’s army is the closest. The picture was taken after the first turn.

Unfortunately the 6/1 Demon arose and smite the camera’s battery and thus there is only one picture. The good news is we did not see him again for the rest of the game. The dicing was “normal” (Whatever that is.) – “for you Andrew that is rolling game high 2’s!!!”.

Darius launched his attack with his usual zeal and daring. Unfortunately Darius was a little outnumbered on his left flank. This problem was compounded straight away when Attila’s light foot routed one of his light foot in the first round of shooting.

The fighting on that flank resolved itself into Darius being beaten mainly due to being outnumbered and the staying power of Attila’s shield wall.

In the centre Darius crashed into the Romano British shield wall inflicting lots of damage. But not enough to kill.

The fighting over the next few rounds included many interesting sub battles.

Gradually the Saxon units were routed, mainly because they were outnumbered. This eventually resulted in the demise of the Saxons.
