Dark Ages - Defending the Indefensible

With the dark ages campaign now over we are doing a few one-off games until we start the planned 1815'ish Napoleonic's. This weeks scenario was one where the Romans and Anglo-Normans had to capture and hold a road junction and a hill. It was progressive scoring with 1 point for each per turn. You could win by scoring 10 points or routing the enemy.

The Romans were the faster force and managed to grab the objectives but the Anglo-Normans moved quickly to threaten them. Disaster struck through successive double-1's for the ANs mean the CinC died and then his bodyguard routed, trying to retake the road junction.    

The AN's fought on but were unable to claw-back the Roman's lead. Roman win 

We also finished-off the game of Britannia we had started over the holiday break. The Angles had an good few turns for the blue faction and the expected Saxon attack for red never really came off as they got hung-up on the Romano-British. We got to turn 11 but had to stop at that point with blue leading. It was decided they would win as they had nt yet had their major invasion (Normans) and this would score heavily for them.
