Obelix and Co. An Infamy, Infamy! AAR
Following on from the previous failure of Centurion Armisurplus to burn the Gauls out of their village, he was sent back out to try again to conquer all of Gaul...
Deciding to take the softly, softly approach to community policing, the Bully Boy squad was dispatched to engage the local population and tell them the good news.
Meanwhile, Armisurplus and his grizzled veterans began their advance on the village.
It wasn't long before a tribal levy made their presence known.
The Bully Boy squad approached and engaged in tribal relations with an attempt to pacify the mob. It wasn't enough to disperse the crowd though.
Meanwhile, local youths armed with rocks bombarded the riot squad, luckily they were wearing riot armour.
Then all of a sudden, Asterix and Obelix led an ambush! It was about time that those two had an ASBO placed on them!
Taken unawares, the rear units of the community riot police force was pushed back, whilst the others turned to face the threat.
Things didn't go well for the Gauls, Asterix and his men were thrown back in the face of the Roman veterans!
But the Auxilia were being pushed back by the levy.
At this point, the game could have swung either way!
But, hopped up on Magic Potion, Oblex and Co. set about the Legionaries and sent them packing.
Then they turned their attention to the Roman veterans who were soon bashed into next week...
With the Gauls bearing down on the remaining Romans, the game was over, Roman morale collapsed and the Gauls had saved the village again!
Another great game of Infamy, Infamy! This one was a bit closer than the previous game, the Gauls didn't have such an easy ride once the Romans were able to face them. The ambush points really show the importance of the Romans using scouts to close them down quickly.
I also filmed this game and you can watch the AAR here:
That looks rather good fun. I like the idea of the Gauls being able to spring out on ambush.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Pete.
Cheers, yep, that's one of the barbarian's key features. It really pays to scout out the positions if you are playing as the Romans.
DeleteA great looking game. I'm very tempted by these rules.
ReplyDeleteCheers Buddy, the are good fun and I intend on playing a few more games in the future with them with my mates as well as solo.
