Well a friend of mine and I decided to get a game in of WAB yesterday given that both of us are free due to the holiday season. We had a Roman Civil war day when we played. He brought his usual small century of heavily armoured veterans Legionaries as the bulk of his army whereas I have large blocks of regulars. We are virtually about even as far as unit numbers goes concerning centuries. We mostly use barbarian screens now a days for the rest of our point allotment, and I have a pair of scorpios that do some damage when they feel like it. I did add a new trick to my game in that I brought Barbarian Light Calvary. He also brought two war bands of barbarians.
He usually does a good job routing my armies, however I was able to get more than a few shots in with my regulars and was able to end up with a minor loss this time according to my calculation. You have no idea how much a +1 makes a difference in armour saves and hits until you play him a few times like we do. On top of that, my light calvary did what I wanted them to which was to harass his skirmish line, and my scorpios were able to actually knock out some legionaries.
All in all it was a good day and we both exclaimed how we missed playing each other and that we should start planning more games. I did not take any pictures or took notes so I cannot really make a full battle report of note. Next time I will promise to make some notes at the least.
