Turn 2- I as the Successor player played aggressive and got my pikes forward ASAP, as we had not seen a proper Heavy Infantry  clash. I used group movement twice and both times used bonus dice for extra movement.

Turn 3. As you see the dice (should) have helped my cause as the Roman player Deferred his dice!

End of turn 5 casualties
Successor
(http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn208/1815philip/Sword%20and%20Spear/15mm%20Successor%20vs%20Roman/DSC00391_zpsjss4qpgj.jpg) (http://s305.photobucket.com/user/1815philip/media/Sword%20and%20Spear/15mm%20Successor%20vs%20Roman/DSC00391_zpsjss4qpgj.jpg.html)

Romans lost no units this turn due my terrible dice rolling again. we finished there as I took an army test (over 1/3rd in army points lost), and virtually every one of my units except two, took a casualty from failing discipline test.

Even though I lost, I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Next week- back to Outremer, umpiring a couple of novices in the rules!
