My newly purchased Parthians fought Russel's newly arrived Parthians, in not one, but two games in the one night. Easy with Basic Impetus.
Game One
Light cavalry and skirmishers to the fore,
cataphracts in reserve.
I got off to an aggressive start.
Better still I started to get the best of the skirmishing.
Sweeping round the enemy left
screening their right
Cataphracts are now in striking distance
The battle is in the balance
So often with my images you miss the detail of the figures
It was bloody, but a victory is a victory
Game Two
I out scouted my opponent this time and deployed accordingly.
That is a patch of difficult going in the centre.
Again a bold advance with my light cavalry
Cataphracts in reserve slowly moving up
Initial fighting saw the enemy light cavalry and skirmishers stripped away
from their cataphracts
Their only option was to charge
Luckily I was able to pull some light cavalry back
to cover the enemy flanking move
The enemy cataphracts are tough, even when surrounded
But my dice prevailed.
2 from 2 Well done! The figures all look fantastic
ReplyDeleteThanks. My opponent was a bit new to his army and the rules. That said he had plenty of beginner's luck with his dice
