Another play-test of my Simple Combat rules, this time gauls 'without potion'....
---oXo---
A Roman patrol on the return leg of their route...
The roman patrol is being watched....
The patrol halts and takes up a defensive position as a detachment is sent to check out a nearby farm
the detachment reaches the farm ...
the gallic commander orders the signal to attack
the gauls rush in to attack the romans
the romans hold their ground.....
with fighting going on in the farm, another detachment is prepared ....
as the fighting continues ...
the second detachment approaches the farm...
the romans finally get to grips with the gauls, starting to cut them down ....
the remaining gauls run for it ....
the farm is set alight and the romans withdraw,
---oXo---
Result:Romans: 1 legionary - single wound
Gauls: 4 dead, 1 warrior with 2 wounds.
The rules worked well in the play test; the un-armoured gallic warriors eventually got cut up by the romans as expected, even when they scored a hit it was difficult to wound the romans due to their armour. The armoured gallic warrior was an even match for a roman.
What a difference an asterix less force makes, well done Pax Romani !
