Gallic vs Spartans - posted by Andrew Bennetts, 6 December 2021

And more action North of the Bombay's

Also at the AWC, my brave band of Gallic Freedom Fighters successfully repelled the imperialist ambitions of Al Donald's Spartans. Not a great matchup for the Greeks, as the Gauls steadily ground through the deeply ranked Spartan perioikoi while the Spartiates bravely (wisely?) covered the flanks against probing from Gallic cavalry and their large Iberian Spanish ally.

A mighty clash as the Gauls hit the Spartan periokoi and mercenary Syracusan Gauls and Spanish. The Syracusan mercenaries put up little resistance but the perioikoi sold their lives dearly, almost breaking through the Gallic line in a couple of places. At the top of the photo Gallic cavalry can be seen maneuvering against the Spartan left, while bottom right Spartiates are deploying against out of shot Spanish allies of the Gauls

Another shot of the Gallic right. The Spartans's Syracusan mercenaries did not last long, exposing the flanks of both the perioikoi to their right and the supporting columns of Spartiates behind.

"No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition". Iberian Spanish allies emerge from concealment in and behind the wood to threaten the Spartan right and distract a goodly number of Spartiates.

  Always good to see the freedom fighters strike a blow against the imperialist forces, wherever they raise their heads.

  John Edmundson but would the Freedom Fighters of the People of Gaul ever ally with the Gallic Freedom Fighters?
