My first AAR for 2014 are a sequal to one of the last battles I and Jonas fought during 2013 using our Blatic Crusas minis and the Hail caesar rules. You can find it at my blog. (http://dalauppror.blogspot.se/2014/01/battle-on-ice-hail-caesar-aar.html)

Very interesting AAR. A great battle in that fantastic terrain! Perhpas the ice is a bit too dangerous for the game?

An opportunity for some nice house rules whereby the ice breaks and swallows your whole armyat random... lol

Thanks  !!!

The ice was a bit dangerous, but if you dismounted and moved in open order/Skirmish one move each turn you didn´t have any risk at all, so it was a chooise to make for the commanders...

So lovely to look at and such a clever rule to add! 

I can't help but think of the children's game, "Don't Break the Ice!"  Ooops!
