me and Pete had a go with lion rampant v.2 last night. Romano-brits seeing off the Pictish hordes .
The new rules allow for flank attacks and choosing leadership traits.
The Comte D'El Monte led (from the rear) his roman forces forward with the objective of bur ing the village, the Picts needed to stop them and see off half the roman forces....... a tall order given that burning churches and killing civilians is well within the Comtes remit.........
The Romans advanced and whilst a smart hut was torched easily the church proved more stubborn....needing some fire arrows from the light cavalry to start the blaze. However the Picts weren't having this and took advantage of the terrain to try and destroy the Romans in detail.....this attack started well before the Roamns were able to bring their archers into play killing them off piecemeal.......however the Pictish cavalry were poised to sweep into their flank.........in a suprise turn of events Pete failed to activations on the trot and the Picts weren't able to survive the torrent of arrows bringing the game to a close.
It was good to get the Dark Age forces out again and the new rules have some good additions, all in all a good game.
