These armies have been improved somewhat. The bases are now narrower than the fronts. All the figures are from the correct era. Airfix Ancient Britons and Romans are used. I supplemented the Romans with Hat Gothic cavalry, who are working as mercenaries. The other change is I bought a big bag of dice and used them to keep track of hits instead of hash marks on a note pad.
The first picture shows the Romans lined up and ready to advance.
The Britons moved aggressively across the river. They charged the skirmishers but the Goths flanked the Celts and the Briton's chariot flanked the Goths. What a mess. Meanwhile, at the eastern crossing, two infantry units slug it out. The Brit skirmishers cannot get a clear shot, nor can the Brit archers.
After the dust settled, most of the units were scattered. All the infantry were gone on both sides. The British skirmishers retreated up the hill and waited for the cavalry to charge them. However, the cavalry just waited for the Roman skirmishers to get into range and let them do all the work. This was the situation at the end of the 15th round. Boadica lost. Darn.
