Our second game last Sunday was another great game of Basic Impetvs however, this time it was Middle Republican Romans vs Late Seleucid. Again a great little game but a little tougher for the Romans as the Seleucids deployed some imitation legionaries and a nasty armoured elephant……plus a scythed chariot. My scythed chariot looked menacing but unfortunately it fell short of the mark when the driver and horses went down in a deep of dust and dirt after being hit numerous times by Roman pilums. The imitation legionnaires did a little better in the first two rounds of combat but in the end they too added their numbers to the Roman pilum effectiveness. So it was another victory for the Romans, the second victory to them in the one day. I would however like to play a larger game where I would hope my more numerous cavalry would carry me to victory.
Please enjoy.
