Action on the northern frontier ....

A vexilliation of the 10th legion is on duty on the northern frontier. A gallic force had swept south and raided a couple of small border towns and some rich villas. The 7th cohort of the 10th with a detachment of auxiliaries have been sent to intercept them before they get to far north.

---oXo---

The roman intercept force closes in on the slow moving gauls ....

 the gauls dilly dallying, laden with booty, continue slowly northwards ...

the gauls realizing the romans have caught up with them decide to turn and fight. Javelin men skirmish with the roman auxilairies .....

the carts loaded with their ill gotten gains from the raid continue towards home territory with a small escort ...

The gauls start to assemble ...

the roman auxilairies hold their ground as the legionaries move up in support ...

the roman auxiliaries fall back to join with the legionaries who have deployed ....

the gauls charge ....

the romans stand firm

the fighting continues

the gauls start to waver as the romans cut them up ... thinning out their numbers ....

its to much and the gauls turn and run ......

the romans hold their ground and wait for another onslaught;  as there is no sign of another attack,  the cohort commander decides to form up and march back to the safety of the frontier fort.
