On Wednesday afternoon I went over to Rick's place and we played our first 2mm Strength and Honour game with a Roman civil war in the Year of the Four Emperors. We used the Roman units we had painted so far. Rick's force consisted of three experienced legions, two veteran legions and two raw legions. My force consisted of two experienced legions, three raw legions, two veteran auxiliaries and one Roman auxiliaries. Both sides had 61 points and an army break of 15.
We advanced cautiously and tried to maintain our lines with limited success. Before long the push backs and setback cards for my raw legions on the right flank were mounting. My veteran auxiliaries on the left pushed back and then routed one of Rick's raw legions but then two of my experienced legions were pushed back off the table. I cancelled one Homonculus Est activation with a Strategy command point but in the end Rick won a decisive victory, fairly easily. It was a quick, fun game and good to use the 2mm bases. My whole army fitted in to a 20mm high, 24cm by 16cm small Warbases box!

A lovely dappled battlefield, I can see the appeal but I think I'd crave something bigger to be honest!

Thanks Iain, it’s not to everyone’s taste but what’s nice with the scale is you can have a big game with heaps of terrain, a whole Roman marching fort for both sides, on a 6 by 4 foot table.
Delete2mm! What a madness!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Michal, many gamers have that point of view! :-)
