A Roman triumph in TtS

The Light Column of the Romans has done its job
Well the game was played out to the finish and though the Sassanids fought it out, inflicting incredible damage whilst only having one victory medal in the pocket, it was a mighty Roman victory.

A Legio breaks through the line

The Sassanids look to turn the Roman left however they are meeting very stiff resistance

Some raw Legionnaires look to make their mark with some gentle prompting by their General

The gap that has formed on the Roman left

On the Roman right the Light Column is raising merry hell!

Bowmen run for their lives

Saravan, or as I used to call them in WRG days, Clibanarri, hit the Roman Equites in the flank

During the excitement the photos became secondary as Alex fought like a Tasmanian devil to hand on and pull victory out of the mouth of defeat.  Alas it was not to be.

A good sound tactical win by Ben with promises of rematches ringing all the way down the stairs.

Wonderful!!

    1. Thanks Aly. The lads are having another crack at the moment at a game and have switched shirts so Ben is a Sassanid General and Alex a Roman. Most importantly they are enjoying themselves.

  3. This looks great as usual Carlo, your recent Napoleonic game inspired me to play one of my own, similarly, every time I see your TTS games I tell myself I must get to grips with my copy of the rules and work out how to play
