My Early Imperial Romans took on Simon's Ancient British (actually Gaul's but little to no difference in the lists!).
The table was fairly open with the Romans slightly stronger on their left and considerably overlapped on the right. Both armies attempted to take advantage of this:
First to engage were the Roman Auxilia on the left, tempting some impetuous Britons out of the safety of a field:
To protect their warriors the chariots charge Legionaries:
On the right the Roman cavalry attempt to hold off numerous Britons:
The situation does not look promising for the Legions with their right being protected by a couple of cavalry facing numerous heavy foot against which they are ineffective:
A gap appears in the Auxiliary line:
The Legions are slowly being ground down:
The Auxilia have mopped up the remaining British:
Back to my old habits of making several positional errors in ADLG games and perhaps not having the best army list I could have had. It was a bit closer than I thought it would be for a while but the loss of the camp tipped the army over the edge, having said that the camp heroically held out for several turns which it really shouldn't have done!
