Last Friday afternoon Craig and Garry came over and we played a Late Republican Roman versus Mithridatic Pontic ADLG game out in the shed. The Pontic right flank was in trouble early in the game and the situation only deteriorated from there. The Pontic left flank was more successful and managed to survive and even win several messy combats with their cataphracts. In the centre the Roman legionaries gradually ground down the Pontic imitation legionaries and Galatians. It was a straightforward and convincing victory for the Romans once the Pontic left flank and centre were destroyed.

Always nice seeing your armies and they both look great and a crushing victory for the Romans there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie, it was good to get the troops out.
DeleteGreat looking game, the Romans always seem to win, just mimicking real life I suppose?
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray, they do, they’re always tough opponents, more fun to play with and than against.
DeleteAnother great looking battle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
DeleteGood games report - bad day for Mithridatic Pontic army
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, the Pontics needed a fair bit of luck, it’s always tough against the Romans.
