Title: Post Roman Britain AAR
Post by: Rogerc on February 08, 2019, 11:45:04 AM

I ran a very large Dark Age/Post Roman Britain game recently, full write up on the blog and a bit of eye candy below to whet your appetite. https://gapagnw.blogspot.com/2019/02/north-of-giants-wall-battle-report.html

A good looking game, and it looks as though all had fun as well. I just wish I had a few people in my club into this period.

A great looking game.  I am just starting out in this "period" and found this quite inspiring.  I have some Gripping Beast and Warlord Games plastics with some metals from Gripping Beast, Warlord, Footsore and some acquired from others (including the odd fantasy figure).  Most are not yet painted. 
Hoping to raise - Saxons, Angles, Romano British, Scotti, British/Welsh warlord and Picts (eventually). 

Incidentally wo make the Romano British Scorpion (Late Roman?) crews?

Fantastic game and great write-up. I guess third time was the charm. :D

Cheers, having different factions on the two sides makes for a more interestung game and is incidentally easier to balance the forces too.

I like being able to mix manufarcturers to create more variety too. We have an El Cid game coming up which will have a similar approach I am thinking.

The Scorpions are not mine but pretty sure these are Gripping Beast.

Inspiring game with so many well painted figures  :-*

Can you tell me who makes the ruined castle terrain piece featured in the game?
