"Brent's Byzantines" vs Middle Imperial Roman - posted by Vince Cholewa, 26 July 2020

My second game at the Winter Cup yesterday was me using “Brent’s Byzantines” vs Michael Stonyer using Middle Imperial Romans (early proto- Byzantines 😝). A hard fought draw against a wargamer who is always a gentleman to play against. The apparently exposed part of the Roman defensive box included hidden caltrops. 13-12 to Stony.

One bound into the game.

Several bounds into the game. My flank march has arrived.

    • Allen Yaxley Hasn’t this face book group been great for our hobby and DBMM in particular. Thanks Vince. I’m sure you have facilitated many gamers back to the dark side.
      All the new armies and the fact that we are actually meeting , playing games and socialising.
      Not to mention walking around to the bakery for a “steak & kidney” pie with cream/apple donut chaser. 😜
