Mayhem (now with captions)

This game could have been the basis of a good Prince ValierrrrMicheal story, but I was continually interrupted by 'other duties' and I was trying to design a new set of rules while I played. With all the confusion those situations usually cause, especially when combined, and the late hour, I've given up on a narrative. 

Note to self: I need to make a Bard figure to help with composing tales of high adventure.

The scenario was based on CS Grant's Wagon Train.

An alliance of 'Picts' (ie British tribes from North of the wall) and "Saxons"( ie Germanic raiders from over the sea" have joined up to seize a supply train headed for a "Romano-British" fort.

The garrison has a ballista or onager (I forget which one I used), some cavalry which can sortie, some archers, if anyone gets close enough, and some infantry whose role is to cheer loudly and hurl insults at the Barbarians. The "Barbarian Conspiracy" has a few archers, a few light cavalry, and a bunch of fierce but rarely armoured warriors. 

The column manages to hold off an ambush as they round the corner and start in on the home stretch, (Arrival time and place for the raiders is decided by dice, I think this lot shouldn't have lounged around the cook fires so long, dreaming about having a magical hot black potion that would perk them up.   

Blades and blood, well guys knocked over anyway, and the sheep are getting nervous.

End of the game, both armies are at their breaking point and both sides have some of the wagons, animals, etc and some are still in dispute. 

The Prince will return another day.
