The Romans were unlucky with dice rolls and the Celts slingers/archers were lucky to roll several 6's. For the next game we've decided to make the following changes. The slingers must be brought on in the same way as the warbands (ie. successful command roll). We've also agreed to set 6 specific points of entry for the Celt reinforcements. When the time comes, the entry point will be determined randomly. In our practice game, the Celt medium cavalry appeared on the Roman flank and it was too easy to position them so they could charge into the Roman flank. Finally, we've decided that if the Romans form Testudos, they must roll for disorder if they attempt to cross the river.

Let me know if you made any tweaks to the scenario so I can adjust it for future games of my own. :)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300726634407646984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627201667298914772.post-57304993019114088342016-01-30T17:33:02.371-05:002016-01-30T17:33:02.371-05:00Still entertaining in 2016!

They look familiar.<br /><br />The best defence against the sweeping attack is to have a second line of troops, so you may need a few more warband!<br /><br />Cheers, SimonBigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627201667298914772.post-81734062963286435422012-08-18T18:33:45.649-04:002012-08-18T18:33:45.649-04:00Nice report and photos, your need a few more warba...Nice report and photos, your need a few more warbands against the Romans!Cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186074313046292554noreply@blogger.com
