Ancient British v Imperial Rome

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...

100 Years War English v French (round 2)

This game was a re-match of the same armies from the previous club game. The task of repeating the French win of the previous week by dice roll was given to myself while Tony and Tim aimed to reverse this and produce an English victory. The terrain was very different to the previous game in that apa...

100 Years War English v Ming Chinese

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...

Hordes & Heroes Ancients: Dacians v Romans

This was the first appearance at the club for the Dacian army pitted against their historical enemy, Imperial Rome. We deliberately kept the central area of the table clear of terrain features with a few hills and forested areas relegated to the table edges. This was to enable the 2 armies to clash ...

100 Years War French v Teutonic Order

Pitting a French medieval army against a Teutonic army of 250 points each is always going to be a brutal affair – both armies have a very powerful heavy cavalry contingent and large numbers of crossbow armed infantry equipped with pavisses. IMG_1912sm.JPG The Teutonic army had mobile shooters in the...
