Age of Arthur 'Kriegsspiel'
« on: April 01, 2020, 10:06:00 PM »
Inspired by Captain Blood's post on another board (though not nearly as ambitious or nice looking) I decided to break the Lockdown Gaming Drought with a kind of Kriegsspiel game.

I set up the table and the forces, then James and Martin supplied me with orders via Facebook messenger.





The Saxons advanced swiftly while the Late Romans held steady





However the Saxon warlord at the end of his line rather lost contact with the rest of his force who ground to a halt.

And the Romans pushed up



The lines came together and the grim business of slaughter began





Eventually the Saxons broke and began to flee


And the Romano British village was saved.

More words and pictures over on my blog:

That’s a good idea to keep playing!

I bet a lot of folks would like to do that regardless of the panic.
