Franks vs Romans - posted by Julian Hannam, 15 January 2026

Franks v Romans on a very wet Taranaki day against Keith V Trye The Horde swarmed forward, tripped over some Psiloi, got slapped in the flanks by LH, and then watched the KnF get overlapped and forked up.

A thorough post match debrief with the Maestro and some creative solutions were put forward. My plan will probably remain the same though - roll better (than him!) Learned lots, might remember some of it - Toy Soldiers for Happiness!
