Alexander II of Epirus takes on the Romans

[Prufrock]

Here's a report of a Lost Battles game I got through today, based on a scenario from a member of the LB group.

A bloody battle, and one that would have seen much hurling of roof tiles, no doubt!

This contest between an Epirot and a Roman army went very like the way the Lost Battles Asculum scenario tends to go: the Roman cavalry were (grudgingly) beaten, the Roman infantry outmatched and the affair decided once the Epirote cavalry got round the Roman flanks.

The Lost Battles OB and terrain were drawn up (by Aaron, no less) from a DBMM scenario offered by Carolyne Kershaw from her Empire-with-DBMM Successors campaign.

Looks magnificent Aaron. (What I wouldnt give to have a table that size! )

A great battle and a resounding result for Alexander!

Thanks for reminding me of the correct way to spell Carolyne's name, Patrick!  The Romans were one up in army fighting values in this game, so they had a slight advantage in theory even if it didn't translate into practice.  Terrain worked against them, as did having only one general. 

It was a nice way to come up with a scenario.

Dave, regarding the table, I felt it was essential for our students that we got something that could be expanded to 6' x 4'6   

Cheers,
