another glorious chapter in the D'el Monte family saga........and to clarify he didn't "skulk" behind the hill .....he protected the rear from attack......always important yo protect your rear...

the Irish raiders were wiped out though.....

The Comte D'El Monte, Preator of the Classis Britannicus, victorious again.....keeping these provincial upstarts in their place....

More lion rampant using the flanks/shieldwall rules with some house rules for single combat between leaders thrown in . The Romano-Brits tried to see off Saxon raiders.....the Comte D'El Monte holding on to the last

Lion rampant v2 rematch......the vikings .....watched on by a mysterious one eyed character.....came close to smashing the byzantine army but an exceptional defence by the javelin armed light infantry blunted attack long enough for the light cavalry to perform a flank attack.....a desperate challenge by the viking leader saw him skewered by the Comte D'El Monte.....

plastic bodies with the metal bonnets, simple figures but they paint up well
-
24 more musketeers for Andy's covenanters army, less uniform to represent veteran troops from the Bishops war....
-
me and Ian tried out Lion Rampant v2 using the shieldwall and flanks optional rules. They did change the dynamic of the game, with light cavalry proving a nuisance on the flanks and manoeuvres being quite important.
