SAGA Night - 3 way party

 Last night was the Montreal Historical Wargamer's monthly Saga night at the Abyss. I choose to show up with my Romans from the Age of Invasions book. One option that was planned was I was to be one of two Roman players against a coalition of Picts and Britons. Due to problems with the weather, the Picts failed to materialise and we decided to go with a three player game, using the Book of Battles as our guide. 

Initial Deployments and after my first move. My warband is archored between a rough patch and a marsh.

We choose to each deploy a 5 point warband on a smaller than recommended table, so things were tight. Nonetheless it was a fun evening and served as an excellent introduction to a mass combat in Saga.  Gavin’s Romans were rendered hors de combat while my force didn’t fair much better. David's Britons came out on top. 

Late in the game. My Warlord was broken against Gavin's troops, while David's Britons close in.

My Levy, armed with javelins inch closer to the enemy. My Warlord is already deceased.

I used my Cavalry and Warlord to rush Gavin's warband and then fall back. Victory points were rewarded for each charge made. I gathered 5 while David landed 8. Unfortunately for me Gavin's levy and archers proved to be a tough nut to crack.

At the end of the evening. Gavin's Warband was eliminated. Their ghostly remains can be seeen near the field. One of my mounted Hearth Guard has been reduced to two figures, the forward unit to just three. When I attempted to fall back, Gavin used my two fatique points to hobble my movement. The unit is frozen in place and awaits its fate at the hands of the Briton's

The Levy exclaim "Mission Accomplished. " They closed with the enemy and destroyed the bolt thrower for the loss of one figure. A win in their book. They were lucky.
