Twelve Foes of Rome Campaign
Continuing with my Twelve Foes of Rome campaign.
Last time, Bellicosus (our fictional hero) conquered the Etruscans and Samnites.
Now, long after his retirement, the Senate calls him back into service to face Pyrrhus.
Bellicosus takes the initiative on the left. His light cavalry routs Pyrrhus's archers. But the Italian allies flee from the elephants.
The light horse (left) take out Pyrrhus's cavalry.
But then get overrun by reserve cavalry.
The Italian cavalry (left) hold! Meanwhile, a legion sacrifices itself to drive off the elephants.
This leaves Pyrrhus's pikes alone. They withdraw.
The Second Battle
Bellicosus pursues Pyrrhus and brings him to battle outside Tarentum.
Once again, Bellicosus's light horse drives off Pyrrhus's cavalry!
Utterly defeated, Pyrrhus must retire from Italy.
Bellicosus receives a triumph in Rome!
GAME NOTES
Oops, I forget to use generals for rallying. Oh well.
My new box saw action.
Here is my "Big Battle" box. It's designed to hold 4x6 inch photographs.
Unpacking the box. I laid out my felt battlefield. The small square boxes in the Big Battle box hold armies and markers. Rules, on index cards, sit in the open lid.
