6mm Carthaginians vs Romans

Punic Wars here we come. 

Today Mark Woods and I played a game of Basic Impetus 2.0 using his wonderful 6mm collection of troops.  We went Basic as it had been a while since we had played any miniatures games.

 Deployments.

Romans command the hill.

 Turn 1

An advance by the Carthaginians to their left saw the Romans come down off the hill.

 Turn 2

The Roman infantry continue to advance,

while the Carthaginians attempt to skirmish.

 Turn 3.

The impetuous Carthaginian Gauls charge!

Elsewhere the skirmishers are engaged with their Roman counterparts.

 The Gauls prevailed, forcing the legionnaires back,

but this one was a problem as it had troops it couldn't interpenetrate to its rear 

(as they were in combat).

We ended up pushing the whole lot back, but it is a question for the forum.

 Turn 4.

The Carthaginian Gauls keep on going!

The Roman cavalry has charged to Balearic slingers, but to no advantage.

Turn 5.

The Gauls might have gone,

but not before taking out a whole legion.

That and other losses broke the Romans.

It was fun getting reacquainted with the rules.

Upon looking in the Impetus forum, it is likely that the unit should have been destroyed.  Ouch!
