Dark Ages Raid : Dux Britanniarum

Allan and I were keen to have another game of Dux Britanniarum especially as Allan has painted up his ancient Celtic village !

He brought along his Scotti raiders army and I had the Romano-British as usual. Mike joined in on my side, Ian B on Allan's.

Here's the terrain

and the village where the Scotti hope to find plunder 

and why not, its a fine looking village after all !

We diced to see how many moves the Scotti got before the British forces react - three, the maximum, which enabled them to get to the village in no time

Belatedly, the British Lord arrives with three units, comprising warriors and his elite company

Scotti cavalry and skirmishers have been sent to hold them up

but the British no that there is no time to spare

as the enemy are already tearing the buildings apart looking for treasure

The British Lord and his Champion hurl insults at the enemy as they advance  

Scotti cavalry try to get a flank march on the forward unit of British

as the British levy troops are attacked by Scotti warriors and sent reeling with plenty of shock

the British Lord needs to get his better quality troops into the fighting

as the levy have scant chance against the superior Scotti warriors

The British manage to establish a more solid line and the Lord has got his Elites and warriors into a shield wall

The Scotti cavalry have now moved around to the other flank to see if they can exploit a break through

The British have managed to chase off the Scotti skirmishers and advance on the enemy warriors

a jubilant cry has gone up from the village - they must have found loot, so its time to withdraw

The British charge but the Scotti now evade as they have what they want

They are certainly "fleet of foot"

Scant consolation but the British do manage to kill the Scotti cavalry

It was only after the game was over, we discovered that the Scotti needed to have got loot from at least two buildings, not just the one - guess they will have to come back !!!
