An historical match of sorts. Brendan playing only his third game of Basic Impetus in so many years.
Romans are out scouted, but succeed in placing terrain to constrict the Huns,
but then try to cover the front to stop any Hun infiltration.
Note: the green labels are aide-mémoire to help Brendan with troop characteristics.
The Romans had used Aggressive Deployment and won the first initiative,
deciding to move first and head to where the Huns were.
This gave the Huns some immediate targets,
and that is the Roman's general's unit taking casualties.
Disordered units project no Zone of Control
and one Hun unit has slipped round the flank.
A Roman legion tries to chase the Huns away,
but they keep pouring arrows into the Roman heavy cavalry,
eliminating the Roman general.
The Romans had not been winning the initiative and now it would be that much harder.
But it was not going all the way for the Huns
as the Romans brought their slingers up and wrecked the Hun unit covering their right.
The other Roman heavy cavalry unit has been routed by the Huns.
The Romans are finding themselves seriously outflanked.
Can the Legions drive off the Huns?
Or are they the meat in the sandwich?
The Roman slingers perform well, wrecking another Hun cavalry unit.
But those Roman legions have their rear exposed.
Whoops!
Forgot to give the (now vanished) Roman legion a +1 in the Cohesion test for fighting light cavalry.
But at this stage Brendan was happy to concede.
