The interesting challenge for both sides in this game where the armies are fundamentally different from each other in composition and fighting characteristics, often creates a brain spinning scenario! Each side endevours to play to its strengths and exploit the weaknesses of the opposing force. The ...

Thank you for drawing our attention to this. The file has been resolved and the generator is working fine now.
I hope you enjoyed your Romans v Sassanids game.

Game 1 It had to be done! Pitting 2 warrior horde based armies against each other would certainly amount to a chaotic engagement. The Dacians had the advantage of slightly stronger infantry armed with the one and 2 handed falx which caused so many problems for Emperor Trajan’s Roman army and his in...

Following the Britons defeat in the previous game, this time, under the generalship of Tony and Tim they were out for revenge. James and I deployed our Romans with the aim of repeating the Roman armies recent success. The army compositions were kept the same as the last game and so there would be no...

This large club game saw 360 point Imperial Roman army engage an Ancient British army of the same value. The terrain was laid out in what can only be described as a ‘very random’ manner with a scattering of small areas of woodland and a few small hills. The dice decided choice of table edge, first d...

In this scenario Tony and Tim laid out the terrain without knowing which armies were going to hit the table which seemed fair! I had put together a English 100 Years War army to take on the Ming Chinese army from the previous week. Tim and I took command of the English and Tony and Chris the Chinese...

The dice delivered the Ottoman army into Tony’s capable hands and the Chinese to Tim and Myself to command. The terrain was flat mostly flat a few small hills but was punctuated by a good number of small areas of woodland. The points count for both armies was 250 each with 4 commanders. There was no...

Imperial Rome v Dacia and Allies Setting the scene for the battle. The Roman empire under Emperor Trajan set out to finally conquer Dacia. The key reason given was Dacias ‘lack of respect for Rome.’ After inflicting a defeat on the Dacians at the second battle of Tapae Trajan withdrew a large secti...
