Burn the Watchtower: part deux

 Sextus Figulous, a new Centurion, recently arrived on the frontier, learns of his brother's death at the hands of Vorsprung and his Germans.  Our fresh faced boy (no shader used on that figure yet) has vowed to sieze the sacred vibrating Wang of the tribes, and defeat Vorsprung.

It's a lofty ambition for a new boy.  His men rate him as "Pugnacious," the ladies rate him as pug ugly.  Can our hero save the watchtower in village six?  If anyone can do it a Sextus can!

The field of battle, watchtower at village 6.


Sextus brings his legionary tanks on.  Blocked by terrain.

The German slingers grab one of our ambush points.


Meanwhile at the tower all is quiet.

Sextus marches into the bog. Steps out but its slow going.

Furious brings a skirmish order group on.  Useful types these Auxilia.

The German Warlord appears off an ambush point.  He looks angry

But out pops our Curious Decurion, who had been trying to catch their ambush point.  The Germans appear and spear chuck, killing one of Curious' men!


And the Wang is sighted as Warriors with a cartload of faggots appear and surge for the wall.  The Germans screen this with archers.  

And we break the action at that point.

Germany isn't a safe place for Romans!
