This was the first game of the club's new Basic Impetus League for 2024. My Huns faced Brad's Romans.
It was a long game as the Huns flitted about, shooting away and gradually wearing down the Romans.
No surprise, the Romans were out scouted.
Still, they found a position between two patches of difficult terrain.
The Huns, setting up last, focus on the Roman right,
where their artillery and archers are not.
The Romans shuffle right becoming disordered.
The Roman light cavalry have fled,
Huns are sneaking round the flank,
but the Romans are boldly advancing their artillery.
Roman cavalry has about-faced, while their righthand legion is taking casualties.
Hun skirmishers are screening the Roman artillery.
A charge by one unit of Hun cavalry against the weakened legion ends in a shocking repulse.
A second charge ends with the Huns perilously exposed.
The Hun army decides to redeploy as only a light cavalry army can do.
The Roman cavalry stands firm protecting the flank.
The exposed Hun cavalry fights for its life.
The Roman artillery blows the Hunnic skirmishers away.
Well, the dice were kind.
The imperilled Hun cavalry prevails!
But that Roman cavalry is still blocking the way.
However, the Roman left flank is now open.
The Romans try to reposition as they are at risk of being surrounded.
The Roman cavalry have finally been broken.
The Huns start looking for weak spots.
The Roman commander's legion has broken, and another legion is now surrounded.
It refuses to die quickly.
But it does.
Victory to the Huns.
