DBMM game today at mine against Stephen. Couple of contemporary (if not strictly historical) armies used with my Romans against his Han Chinese. Great game with nice ebb and flow and usual up and downs in dice rolls for us both. Roman Cavalry command on my left wing however broke before Legionaries could bring things to a conclusion in center and on my right mainly due to some judicious (or as I termed it "downright cowardly") retirements by the Han auxilia types and usual annoyance by artillery and bows.
Two nice armies these.
Initial moves
Han left wing
Roman battlelines
Han arrayed
Centers square up
Roman right wing
Roman Cavalry deploy against oncoming Light Horse
Legionaries move to support Cavalry
Han redeploying (ie running away like cowardly girly girls)
Romans taunting girly girls as they run off
Things getting hectic (note more girly girl running away at top right near the dice)
Cavalry up against it with Light Horse and encroaching Bowmen
Toe to toe in center
Great looking battle. DBMM is quite offputting but you've made it look enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking game!!! Definitely too much cowardly play by the girly girls.....me thinks!!!
ReplyDeleteGood use of Regular status and available Pip dice on his part (the Aux would/should suffer badly to Blade in open ground) but still a damn cowardly cur move deserving of utmost derision and insults :-)
