DBA EIR Romans vs Early Germans - 'Vindobona'

Well, well, well, we have been away from blogging for a long time now.  What's changed then?  We have just been on holiday touring the south of dear old England in the Fazzy mobile & took in a few historic sites.  Amy & I watched 'Gladiator' so on our return....

The year is 180 AD, the place Vindobona somewhere in the Germanic lands.  Amy takes the role of Maximus & the jolly Romans.  Yours truly takes the great unwashed horde of German Barbarians.  A nice slugfest to get back into DBA...  The Romans army comprises of 2 Cavalry, 4 blades, 4 Aux, 1 Bow & 1 Artillery.  The Germans 11 Warband & 1 Psiloi.. Simples!

First kill for the Germans, but a few recoils...

The Germanic General makes a kill...

The Romans turn, Amy pulls one back, BUT it's another for Ze Germans...

In goes Maximus but he hits a brick wall... boinggg!

It's looking good for the Germans.

Ohh! What a ferocious bunch...

Amy digs deep & comes up with a few good rolls...

Maximus goes for it!

Rahoo! One more kill for the Romans 3-3!

In go Ze Germans....


HA! The dice gods abandon Maximus... A thrashing from the Germans...




A nice battle & Maximus says it all for the Romans!  Hopefully we'll get a few more games played...
