Marian Roman versus Pontic Basic Impetus Game

Last Sunday down at the club we played a Marian Roman versus Pontic Basic Impetus game with two armies and commanders on each side. For once Craig had some good luck with his dice, while Gary seemed to only throw sixes when doing cohesion tests! Soon the Pontic forces on the Roman left flank were in strife. On the Roman right flank the fighting was very close until the final turn when the Pontics managed to rout the Romans. Overall it was a Roman victory as the Pontics really got hammered on the Roman left flank.

just doubled the armies? Looks like a lot of figs!

Yes it was two BI armies on each side but the Pontic side had some units which look like large units but actually weren't. A larger table with more room on the flanks would have been better.
