3 good game vs DBA vs a Chum who wanted to give his Normans a run out.
Normans vs Asiatic Greeks, my lads managed to kill off the two enemy bow but I soon lost two spear to the enemy Knights. My Cav general then got mugged and game 1 over.
Normans vs my Mongols, actually they were orc boar riders and goblin wolf riders but for the purposes of this game they were Mongols. I managed to win terrain so the steppes were pretty bare as I had no infantry at all. My light horse took out some knights as the enemy advanced hampered by a wood. Managed to take out another two knights before the enemy bow could start hitting my cav. Victory to the O&G forces.
Normans vs Italian Ostrogoth's, this one was a great bash as my psiloi took out enemy psiloi and knights clashed with bows. It came down to my knight general fighting enemy knight and overlapped on both sides with nowhere to recoil. He survived three turns long enough for more Goths to take out enough elements to bring me victory.
We then had a game of Infamy, as Reece had come down but not had a game yet he took up arms as EIR vs Dales the Gauls. Great game played to a standstill as the shop closed. Gauls had lost two mobs of infantry and two units of cavalry including the nobles and general. Last unit of Gaul warriors was looking very poorly and two units of tribal archers were plinking away at any Romans that moved. Rome was down three legion units and an optio, the aux foot and aux archers were not very healthy. Rome had to get one last quarter scouted and capture an enemy deployment marker to win but only had 3 moral left. Gauls had more moral left than troops could die due to very lucky rolls for bad things but it would be touch and go if they could break the last Romans. A draw was probably a great result and def best I have seen the Gauls do recently.
All in all a great day out. FOW next week if we are still allowed out.
