The Battle of Catraeth at Partizan today

[scrivs]

Today was Partizan at Kelham Hall. James, Matt, Andy H, Andy M, Tom, Steve and myself re-fought the Battle of Catraeth, the battle detailed in the Y Gogodin epic poem.

An excellent time was had and here are a few snaps.









A lot more pictures and a write-up can be found on the Scrivsland blog

Blimey, that's a lot of Saxons! Excellent, good looking game - was the mead monolith a VP target - or punishment?

[A Lot of Gaul]

Awesome-looking game and blog post scrivus!

Cheers,

The Mead Monolith contained the small plastic rings we use to mark casualties. We have a spear embedded in the ground at the rear of each unit and drop a ring over the spear each time a wound is caused - simple and unobtrusive (you may be able to spot them in some of the game pictures).

However James did award us all small bottles of Mead for our heroic endeavours in the original game.

Thats just massive.
Humongus amount of painted miniatures, if only I could see that in my gaming club.
