Having wheeled out (see what I did there..?) the Assyrians in a 25mm period at last year's Roll Call tournament, this time around I had resolved to dive into the somewhat deeper and more murky 15mm pool to give yet another rarely-seen army a proper outing post-Covid.
The theme was a somewhat intriguing "Roman Pond" – armies who might have been able to go paddling in the Med in the timeline encompassed by any of the Roman Republic or Empire armies in the ADLG book, which cut off most of the Cataphract-heavy options from a more traditional Roman themed period, making players army choices rather different (aka altering the "meta") as a result too.
With that in mind, and a wish to continue to test some of the less fancied armies and relatively still new ADLG v4 rules, I settled eventually on the often overlooked but in theory quite popular Gauls.
The outcome was the following 5 extremely verbose battle reports full of the usual nonsense of speech bubbles, laboured metaphors, hyperbollix language and out of place references to local foodstuffs – but this time with post-game analysis from Asterix & Obelix (as well as Hannibal)!
Pull up a baguette, put a pot of Magic Potion on the stove and get ready to read all 5 of these Gallic Battle Reports at your leisure !
