Infamous, Infamy

Deep in the German Forests our Roman Infamy forces clash, first game a Roman Legionary force with a renegade Auxilia group.

 

That 6" square area is the Roman deployment zone...

We advance the legion into broken ground using the Auxilia in skirmish order to guard the flank.

The Renegade Auxilia group come on.

Loads of spear chucking.

And the big clash.  The Legion and Auxilia are pretty evenly matched.

Endgame at that point.

On to game two.

The Romans face a German Ambush.

The terrain.

That 6" square deployment zone again.  Difficult to plan with that much restriction.

We split right and left.  Trouble is my Auxilia have had to deploy in thick woods, as sitting ducks, and can't easily get out of it.

The Germans come at us.  This is the Unique scenario
  We have to get an engineer party off table.

The Germans move an ambush point on top of us.

I double step the Auxilia out of the woods, but only get one move.

The Germans catch us in the rear.  Of course.

And a ragged battle ensues both sides.  To be honest it felt as though we were lucky to hold following the ambush, but couldn't continue to even up.

A win for the Germans, but it's a closer system than this battle gives an impression of...
