This week was the penultimate week of our Roman adventures. Nero sent a further army against the usurper and two of the legions were posted to Britannia to deal with threats there.
Game 1: Roman vs Britons - British Win
The Romans were charged with advancing towards Londinium with a small force of cavalry to the front and the rest marching along the road.
The Britons advanced rapidly and were able to get around the flanks of several Roman units, swamping them and forcing a retreat.
Game 2; Nero vs Usurper - Usurper Wins
Nero's forces grabbed a local supply base and dared the Usurper to attack. They boosted their numbers by fielding gladiators from the local training school. This game was played solo with order cards allocated randomly until poor morale took hold.

Both sides placed their best troops in the centre but initially they were reluctant to move and so the action was on the flanks. The early turns saw Nero's army with the upper hand as they pushed back the Usurpers units on the right.
Eventually the Usurpers veterans got moving and began to push through the gladiators while the right stabilised with the intervention of the archers. About an hour in the Nerovian forces had 4 units routed and the armies morale failed.
Game 3; Romans vs the Druids - Druids Win
This game was over fairly swiftly so I failed to get any shots. The Romans landed on the Isle of Mona to face Britons revved up by the local Druids. The Romans landed in waves and were defeated in detail by aggressive Brits.
