A new Dux Britanniarum battle - a prelude to another campaign perhaps, with two new Leaders :- Vortiporious for the British and Aart for the Saxons
The British forces dash towards a threatened village
Probably not too soon either for here come the Saxons
Warriors and Elites to the fore
The Saxons cross the fields rapidly
Jump the walls and skirmishers are sent around the top of the village
The British reach the other end of the village with their slingers skirting the southern edge
Whilst the Saxons led by Aart the Lustful ready for the attack
The inn keeper, Murrius, doesn't care who comes to buy a drink !
Hmmm ... Looks like it might be the Saxons
Suddenly the British elite troops dash into the centre of the village and straight into combat with twice their number of Saxon warriors
A formation of British levy rush to support them
Meanwhile, British slingers and levy watch the Saxon lord enter the village with his warriors
Vortiporious and his warriors make their move
and the Saxons are pushed back, their formation broken
Vortiporious then picks off individual groups of Saxons
An ignominious end for Aart - last seen running away through the fields with his champion, Frithwald
Looks like this part of Britannia is safe for another month or two then !
Great batrep!!
