"The Painted Enemy – a Dux Britanniarum AAR" Topic

Chasing them was like grasping at smoke. We had followed their tracks for three days now. Although we knew the paths and hillsides of the Grey Moors, all we could see of them was black figures barely-seen, darting in the half-light. Sometimes we caught a glimpse of their spears, or hear the sharp cry of our cattle, stolen by them. But more often, we heard nothing but the sound of the wind and the shriek of the ravens.

Only on the fourth day did we trap them, near the fell-side where my grandfather told me the Enemy had fallen long ago. They were nearer now. We could hear their snarls and shouts in the heavy air. They sounded more like animals in pain than men. In the sharp shafts of seldom-sunlight, we could see their painted faces, stretched and twisted in anger and rage.

I've posted on my blog an AAR of a playtest game using Picts against Romano British forces north of The Wall, here:

I hope you enjoy it.

Great stuff! lovely miniatures, nice terrain, cool movement trays and a nice write up whats not to like :)

I enjoyed it a lot – especially that great write-up!

Sidney; That's one great write up! I have Saxons and Arthurian painted up a plenty, what else do I need besides the Rule book, any special dice or other items?

Thank you Gentlemen! Really glad you enjoyed the AAR.

Old Bob, I think you have just about everything you need – if you have figures and terrain, you're about 95% of the way there. All you now need are the rules (available from TooFatLardies). Included in the rules package is a set of the cards which are used to play the game. So, Old Bob, you're well on the way to a fun gaming experience!

Sidney; thank you, The rule book is on it's way!

Good tale and nice pics :)

Congratulations! :)

Nicely evocative write-up.
