The Celtic All-sorts.

[Ochoin]

Our big Australia Day game is Monday. I've been marshalling my contribution: about 1000 FoG points of Celts who will have to face off against a rather formidable Polybian Roman force.

They're a colourful bunch. One of my pals refers to them as 'The Licorice all-sorts'.

The elite- Gaestati - tattoos and all-armoured infantry & cavalry & slingers:







The warbands:





The cavalry & chariots:





I don't expect to win. I've never yet beaten the Romans. But it should be fun. I'll post some game photos later.

Wonderfull army!

Some close ups?

Looks great. I agree with Peter... we need close-ups

My pals are providing the opposing army but I was told my Roman marching fort was needed. I've garrisoned it with some of my Newline Polybians for "eye-candy" purposes.

Looks like a castle that will be hard to crush! Wonderful armies. I wish you a cool day playing.

That's because it doesn't have a back door!

Have a good game Donald, and keep it safe!

We had a very enjoyable game: the scenario was a type of Teutoberg Forest concept. The Romans had to traverse the board (hilly & forested) to reach the fort, whilst the Celts lay hidden in ambush. This was handled by map movement.
The ultimate goal:


The Romans were in two columns. The going was tough. Movement & visibility both limited the usual Roman superiority:







In spite of due vigilance the smaller Roman column was largely wiped out.




Ultimately, attacks broke out on all sides. Sadly, the main Romans were worn down & unable to reach the fort before nightfall.
