Hun Victory at the Mauriac Plains
« on: December 25, 2018, 02:39:09 AM »
10 mm action. Romans are a mix of Pendraken, Newlines, and a few Steve Barber; Huns the same with some Magister Militum. Flavius Aetius played by my wife, still smirking about her victory at 1st Newbury last week; barbarian alliance commanded by your humble narrator.

I trusted to my Gepid charge to sweep away the Roman right, which was strung out with Franks leading, and the Ioviani Seniores lagging behind. Sadly, the Franks were tougher than expected. Even more sadly, Theoderic was leading his Visigoths around my left in support of the Romans, and arrived at just the right time; a heart-stopping moment.

So your wife happened to be not only the Last Roman, but also the saviour of the roman empire???

'fraid not. She fought with skill and courage, but the Huns won anyway. In fact, in their brief existence they've won 3-0, and there's mounting suspicion that the armies are a bit unbalanced.

The wife DID, however, take my ECW Royalists to the cleaners recently.

Mmmm, I wouldn't dream of changing. 6mm is spectacular, but too little detail can be seen; larger scales just don't have enough figures to look like a battle (15mm not bad, it's true, but it's also sooooo much easier to store 10mm).
