Midgard : Campaign Scenario 1 : Aftermath

The first battle saw both sides take heavy casualties; the Britons many more than the Romans...

The Britons' losses (132pts):

• Luconianus 1 (18pts)
• 4x Warriors 2 (68pts)
• 2x Archers (30pts)
• 1x Skyclad (16pts)
  

The Roman losses (88pts):

• 1x Legionaries (34pts)
• 1x Cavalry (20pts)
• 1x Legionaries (34pts) Hors de Combat due to reduced Stamina
  

I wasn't expecting so many units to be destroyed during the course of the game, but now that I am aware of the casualty rates, I may need to amend the numbers of reinforcements going forward. These are the reinforcements rolled from the tables in the previous post...

The Britons' reinforcements (68pts out of a possible 75pts):

• 1x Level 1 Leader - replacement (no cost)
• 1x Female Warriors (16pts)
• 1x Warriors 2 (17pts)
• 1x Skyclad (16pts) 
• 1x Warriors 2 (17pts)

The Roman reinforcements (34pts):

• 1x Legionaries (34pts)

Luckily the numbers match up again for the next scenario, although the forces are below the 300 point mark. Going forward I may up the numbers a bit if the armies were to become too small. I would have to adjust the narrative; maybe for the Romans I will keep their reinforcements at the same rate, but up the amount of Britons to make the game harder, and more desperate for the Romans, at each stage.

The Britons' army for scenario 2 (243pts):

• Bellicus 3 (47pts)
• Maviloduus 2 (32pts)
• Level 1 Leader (18pts)
• 2x Warriors 3 (44pts)
• 2x skyclad (32pts)
• 2x slingers (20pts)
• 2x Warriors 2 (34pts)
• 1x Female Warriors (16pts)
  

The Roman army for scenario 2 (245pts):

• Lucius Valerius Corvus 3 (43pts)
• Marcus Aurelius Bellator 2 (35pts)
• Gaia Pomponia Thrax 2 (21pts)
• 2x Legionaries (68pts)
• 2x Archers (58pts)
• 1x Cavalry (20pts)

1x Legionaries (-1St) in reserve

For the new lists, I will need to arrange for a new level 1 leader figure and base up the unit of Female Warriors for the Britons. I will also try to get some paint on a number of the unpainted figures in time for the next game to at least make them look better than just the plain black/white/flesh undercoats.

I also managed to collate and undercoat two units of Celtic Cavalry for possible later use. I am also working on some more movement trays to carry the new warrior units.

Other than putting together the two new versions of the armies, I also need to work on the story of the Roman retreat to pick up their stargglers and choose which scenario to play next based on numbers available etc. More on this in the next post hopefully.
