OT2017 Round 1

Game 1 results:

Latin: craniumgroup - 5 Banners
Roman: Cavie - 1 Banner

Mostly a ranged game, but the Roman had some seriously hard luck with the rolls. The Latin marched the Medium infantry on the left all the way down through spears and arrows to engage with the light units on the Roman right with decisive results. A good game with a lot of maneuvering.

Game 2 results:

Latin: Cavie - 5 Banners (14 blocks lost)
Roman: craniumgroup - 2 Banners (22 blocks lost)

Both sides had a Double time early on and Rome used theirs first. It was sniffed out by the Latin and they some how avoided some of the casualties and then struck back with their DT. Rally was used by the Latin also - 4d - 4 banners......good thing they had a decent lead or that could have been a recipe for disaster.

Game 1 Results

Roman: Stonewall - 5 banners
Latin: PCScipio42 - 1 banner

Missile fire was devastating and a Roman Double Time card propelled the mediums into the mediums and ended the game.

The Romans drove the Latins back with their cavalry on the left, and devastating missile fire, and advanced to the right bend of the river with their medium infantry, but the Latin medium infantry slipped in behind them and killed 2 trapped med inf and the leader when he tried to retreat through the warrior. The game ended when Latin auxilia and lights drove wounded units back on the left and destroyed one with Darken the Skies.

Game 1- KenW(Roman) v. Kirk(Latin)
The Romans were uncharacteristically aggressive with their cavalry, opening with charges on both flanks. Thanks to a first strike, the roman light cavalry on the right were devastated, but the Roman medium cavalry on the left had better luck. Blessed by Minerva with mounted charge and some lucky die rolls, the Roman medium cavalry were able to blow out the Latin light cavalry and roll up the Latin line in short order. Final tally KenW-5 v. Kirk-1

Game 2- Kirk(Roman) v. KenW(Latin)
Game 2 opened with a charge of the Roman medium cavalry on the Latin right flank, which the Latin light cavalry were able to frustrate. The Latin line was able to advance to the banks of the river, after which the battle degenerated into grinding attrition. After slogging up and slipping back down the riverbanks the Latins got a foothold on the south back, scoring the last banner as the romans counterattacked to thrown them back. Final score Kirk-3 v. KenW-5

can I get an update on what is happening with the unplayed matches? Due date is 31 March.

Toganalper: 2 vs stormwalker:1

This was two very different games:

Game 1: stormwalker (romans) 5: toganlaper (latıns) 3

The latins hold on to their position and did not cross the river. It was a very very very long game we actually were close to run out of cards when I played the I am Spartacus card, after long range shooting and some cavalry fight on the sides and lots and lots of attrition war around the river. A late Latin kamikaze cavalry attack from the rıght flank medium cav commander of stormwalker with no success. Stormwalker managed to outmaneuver me for a 5: 3 victory.

Game 2: toganalper (romans) 5: stormwalker (latıns) 1

The romans started wıth avıctory on the left flank they fırst pushed the lıght latin cavalary back to the village and massacared them in front of their villaga walls. Some of the roman left flank also crossed the river to encircle the latins from the left. Latind as a reaction rolled toı their own left cross the river to their own left and attacked the romans on the roman right flank. The commander swiftly moverd to the right flank organized his aux and the med units and had a fist to fist close counter fight at this flank to come up victorious while losing just one aux unit.


Thanks fort the fun and interesting scenario to the designer and also to stormwalker for two beatıful and challenging games.
