Titus Second Patrol Action

Maius III

Titus rolls a second patrol action.  He is currently "Conspicuous."

On Patrol This  scenario  sees  an  attacker’s  patrol  attempting  to  scout  an  area  of  enemy  territory.  The attacker  must  visit  four  distinct  terrain  features  in  four  separate  areas  of  the  table  AND  remove one enemy Ambush or Deployment Point. 

Deployment Zones 

The  attacker  will  enter  the  table  on  a  short  edge.    The  defender  will  have  Deployment  Zones  on two  table  edges.    These  may  be  on  the  short  table  edge  opposite  the  attacking  player,  or  the either  of  the  long  edges.    They  should  choose  the  edges  and  dice  as  normal  for  the  Deployment Zone  location.    The defender’s Deployment Zone may not be in the same area or an area adjacent horizontally or vertically to the attacker. 

Victory Conditions 

The  attacker  may  not  count  any  Ambush  or  Deployment  Points  shut  down  in  the  pre-game Scouting  phase  towards  their  objective.    Each  of  the  four  terrain  features  visited  must  see  a minimum  of  one  Group  moved  into  it  completely.  The  game  ends  when  the  fourth  terrain feature has been visited.  

Maius III:  The Patrol

A poor location to march on, the Romans are constrained by terrain and the river.

Titus leads them on, his trained legionaries ahead of the recruits

And the useful Supernumenary I paid for takes his recruits out to scout an ambush point/ Terrain.

the calm before the storm.  Where are the blighters?

And here they come, skirmishers and foot cavalry

never one for caution Titus goes at them

And the main enemy body come off the ambush point

The Supernumenary scouts a second terrain area

Scrap on as Titus and the boys fight through

Just can`t argue with these Romans.  5 hits to 6

And the conversion, three Spanish killed.  The Romans only get 2 shock...

and later in the combat...

Game over as the Romans trundle over the Spanish.

Titus is promoted to "Punative."  Next game is Iunius IV and with the plus factor for winning this game Titus rolls 6 and brings on a general engagement.  This will be the last campaign game.
