Dacians versus Early Imperial Romans Basic Impetus Game

Here are a few photos of a Dacians versus Early Imperial Romans, Basic Impetus game we played down at the club last month. Garry and Rick commanded the Dacians, while Craig and I were the Roman commanders. Unfortunately it was to be another day of shame and ignominy for the legions! Craig got things off to a pretty dismal start with some appalling dice rolling and the game continued on in that vein. The Dacian falxmen routed the Roman right flank and it was all over far too quickly! Still it was fun to get these armies out, as we haven't played many games with them since Craig wrote Rome's Dacian Wars, the Hail Caesar supplement, about five years ago.
