As a warm up for the proposed Arthurian campaign we set off to run a few games from the Border Skirmish scenarios in Fall of the West.
We started with the Irish raiding a Pict settlement, 300pts a side.
The smaller scale does make for a different game and the supplement being different also affects it.
A case in point is the description 'tooled up' as it pertains to a cavalry unit. In Hannibal it meant some armoured cavalry with large shields and spears mounted on actual horses.
In Age of Arthur it translates as a man in a third hand slightly damaged mail shirt with a javelin and battered 12" diameter flimsy leather shield mounted on the dark age equivalent of a Blackpool beach donkey.
I think a glossary of inter supplement translations will be required.
Anyway back to the game and the said Irish cavalry fled the field after one round of melee before the Irish infantry caused the Pict 'nobles' ( think that's another term that needs translation) to flee . In the end it was the constantly rallying Pict skirmishers whose shooting proved too much that won the day.
