Airfix Ancient Wargame

The Roman Army approaches the Barbarian army. The Roman's have 2 light infantry units and 13 heavy infantry units 

The Barbarians have 9 light units and 10 heavy units. The Barbarian general deploys 5 units of archers and singers in front, with 2 light infantry on each flank.

The Barbarians charge forward with the archers taking several Roman archers.

The Romans, realizing that they must close fast, charge into the Barbarians.

The Barbarians use their light infantry to bleed the Roman's strength.

On the Roman right, they break through the Barbarian line...

Only to face 3 units of Barbarian heavy infantry.

The Battle from above. Every time the Roman's broke the line, the Barbarians had a heavy unit to meet them.

Both sides pulled back to regroup. The Roman's only had 26 men left; the Barbarians 40, including 2 unused heavy infantry units.

The Roman's have enough to form 4 units; the Barbarians have enough for 6 units. The Romans admit defeat.
