Galatians versus Late Romans Mortem et Gloriam Game

Last Wednesday afternoon Garry came over to my place and we played another MeG Pacto practice game for the Classical comp at Third Con this month, with my Galatians and Late Romans. The Roman list was more Middle Imperial, 3rd century, than Late Roman. I was the defender and outscouted by 100% so had to deploy my entire force first. Garry hadn't used the Late Romans before and opted for three not four commanders, so his command discs options were a bit limited at times, during the game. 

The forces advanced slowly at half normal movement for Pacto and cavalry combat on both flanks saw the Romans eventually break two Galatian units to one Roman. Fortunately for the Galatians, their impetuous feared warriors charged in and made short work of the Roman legionaries/auxilia, but I forgot to take photos! A series of bad Kill a Base tests, a type of morale test in MeG, saw the Roman commands in the centre and on their left flank collapse. Some lucky dice rolling saw the Galatians win easily 15-5.
