DARK AGES BATTLE - FRIDAY'S WARGAME

 

On Friday we played the next game in the dark ages campaign we are playing. This was a battle between Robert and Percy two Lords in the campaign who have been waging war against each other since the campaign began. The figures were 28mm - a mix of brands, the rules are homegrown. Here are some photos from the game. Above is the battlefield.

Mother Muggles farm was a feature of the battlefield - don't touch her sheep or chickens.

Movement begins.

Combat starts with an attack on the flank of Percy's army.

While fighting rages on the far flank the rest of both armies continue to move towards each other.

Fighting begins in the center of the line.

Percy (John) moves his brave lads forward.

In the center of the battle the fight is fierce around Robert and his personal standard.

The Gods laugh at the foolishness of humanity.

Percy gathers his banners in the sacred stone circle at the end of the battle - amongst the banners is the captured personal skull standard of Robert.
