The Waggon Train

Clemens knows he's up against it. A triumphant Frithuwald is intent on capturing a waggon train ...

 

Clemens advances with his warriors ahead of the waggons

 

What's that over on the right ?

 Form shieldwall !

 

Here they come again, Tribune Clemens !

 

Ah, Murrius spies some customers !

 

Clemens decides to attack over on the right whilst the enemy forces are briefly separated as the waggons trundle along the path

 

The first Saxons get to the pathway ahead of the convoy

 

Clemens tries to charge the Saxons from two directions with the Levy attack from the rear but the warrior formation fail to make contact

 

The Saxons turn and fight the Levy alone

 And then attack the British warrior shieldwall

 

The Levy are already off and being pursued and the shieldwall breaks

Clemens pulls back to regroup

 

But then gets attacked from behind by the returning Saxons

 

And the waggons are captured

 

Two quick victories for Frithuwald gives him enough wealth and prestige to be declared a Warlord.

 

He will next seek a pitched battle with the British in two months time when both sides will have recovered their strength
