More Battles for the Frontier

Pictures from last nights game. This time the Romans had to carry out an assault river crossing after Barbarians attacked their outposts.

Under covering fire from Scorpions on the south bank, a column of Auxiliaries and Legionaries crosses the river.

However the enemy are waiting for them, skirmishers rush out from the trees to attack the head of column.

More Romans attempt to cross the bridge and a unit of Batavian Cavalry swim the river.

 

The barbarians press their advantage and the crisis of the battle approaches as the auxiliaries fall beneath their blades

 

 

 

But the legion are made of tougher stuff and slowly win back the balance of battle.

In the end, the might of Rome prevails....just!
