Today I played 2 games: Celtiberians VS Gauls. In the first game a peaceful gallic hamlet was assaulted by Celtiberian raiders ! The Chieftain mustered his tribesmen and prepared for the defense of his land: The raiders It was a bloody day for the peaceful Gauls, for they were butchered like pigs by the Celtiberian raiders who quickly won on the flanks and destroyed Wb elements by pair... Result: 5-0 for Celtiberians ! Ashamed and angered by this vicious raid, the surviving Gallic Chieftain took his tribesmen in a revenge raid to the hilly lands of the Celtiberians... Oath are shouted as the battlelines are closing ! And the meatgrinder starts Gauls are being pushed back And quickly overrunned... 4-0 for the undefeated Celtiberians !

During both games the Warbands were unable to win fights against the Blades, so without their QK being triggered, they were pushed, flanked and destroyed. Two turns in a row the whole battleline combats were ties ! ... Except on the flanks: Celt Psilois doubled gallic Wb and then, well not a good moment for the two ranks center of the Gauls I love 3Wb, but when unlucky, they're rapidly endangered. I played a third game, this time warbands managed to QK and punch a hole through the Celtiberian line, then they encircled the ennemy general: 4 (including Gen)-1 for the Gauls. They saved their honor: In the center, the Gallic general beheaded the Celtiberian general in person !

Nice looking armies and nice reports.
Good thing you went for that third battle so that the Gauls had some consolation...
A bit of a surprise that the first two were so lopsided though.

Fortuna wasn't on the gallic side: not one single combat won by 3Wb, ties at best. No QK and lucky Celtiberians Ps and Gen on the flanks.

Many battles were fought this week (9): - Celtiberians vs polybian romans: 4-0, 4-1, 6-4 - Celtiberians vs later macedonians: 6-0 - later carthaginians vs polybian romans: 2-4 - Gauls vs polybian romans: 4-1 - Gauls vs later macedonians: 5-3, 2-4, 4-0
I didn't take pictures because I was too much in the fights (and game clarifications). I was teaching the game to some of my NCO's (former or actual GW gamers) and when they fully understood the importance of protecting their flanks, games became really interesting. They now hate my Celts ;P

Two games today against my oldest son (nearly 5 years old, yeah : he just threw the dice for his army ) Later macedonians (my son threwing the dice) VS Polybian Romans (me): 4-2 (Loud hurras from my son) The phalanx pushed the legions away, the macedonian light troops won on the right flank and the General bravely held the left flank The second game was Gauls (my son threwing the dice) VS Polybian Romans (me): 2-4 (my son didn't want to play anymore ) Gaulish cavalry destroyed the Italian cavalry and 3Ax on the left flank, but the light chariots were routed by the roman general on the right flank, giving room to the velites to flank and destroy Warbands
