Last Game for the Year

We have just finished playing the last game for the year. It was an early medieval, a Byzantine force against a Frankish force. The scenario was that a rebellious Frankish lord wanted to carve out a fiefdom for himself. The Byzantines objected.


It was quite a short game, starting with a battle between the two opposing heavy cavalry forces, and eventually destroying each other.


Then it continued with the light cavalry skirmising on the opposite flank. 


Finally in the centre the infantry clashed.


A lot of fun was had by all and a good way to finish the gaming year.

The count for the year is 23 games in thirteen different historical periods.

    Handsome game, Mark. Twenty-three games in a year just about doubles my total group games. I am lucky to manage one group game per month. Seems more and more of my gaming time is spent in solo play.

      Thanks Jonathan, I think that is the most games in a year for many years. I hope we can match or increase the number next year!

      Thanks Stu. We take a break now until February, while everyone takes their summer holidays.
