Justinian Byzantine versus Middle Visigoth

An almost historical match up between Simon's Visigoth and my Byzantines (fielded using nearly all Old Glory figures).

In a strange twist the Visigoths saw the Byzantines first.
We both adopted somewhat spread-out. intermingled formations.

We then proceeded to shuffle about

The Byzantine light cavalry swamped one unit of Visigoth cavalry, opening up the right flank.

The Byzantine light cavalry took some casualties but pressed on.

One Byzantine legion in the centre is obliterated,
but on the Byzantine left things are holding up nicely,
giving the right time to swing round. 

The open right flank is proving ideal for the light cavalry,
but it is the second legion that is fighting superbly
(or rather the opposing Visigoths are not fighting so well - lotsa dice, no hits)

The Visigoths disintegrate.

Quiet a different game to my usual practice.  Normally I am very linear, as you will see in my next Basic Impetus game post.
