A couple of DBA games were the order of the day (or the night) with Andy. My Anglo-Saxon army (III/24(b)) had only had one outing, and the new Vikings (III/40(a)) were champing at the bit for a 'bit of a go'. Andy accommodated with his Norse Irish, Book III, and Anglo Norman, Book IV. The games were played using our 15mm armies.
Game 1: Vikings vs Norse Irish.
 |
| Neither of us opted for a littoral landing (stupidly) |
 |
| Andy's new medieval camp |
 |
| My own new medieval camp |
 |
| The Vikings tried to outflank on the right, using their speed, the Norse Irish threatened the other flank with Auxilia |
 |
| In the centre the Viking fast blade began to make inroads against the Norse Irish spear |
 |
| The blade were managing to stay alive despite being caught on the steep hills by the auxilia |
 |
| The fast blade won the battle in the centre, a win to the Vikings |
Game 2: Anglo Saxon vs Anglo Norman
 |
| The Normans mistakenly deployed their knights in line behind their spear |
 |
| Andy attempted to push the knights across to the flank |
 |
| Saxon hordes in the read.. |
 |
| The Saxon spear survive a combat with a stand of knight (on the left).. a 6 vs 1 can do that |
Good to see some early medieval games…the pics help tell the tale 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
