Dark Haven:
A long time ago, back when the movie “Gladiator” came out, the opening battle scene with the legion fighting germans always stuck in my mind whenever I thought of Brets. Their men at arms look rather similiar to roman troops, except the helmets and pants of course. (I realize they did npt quite portray their fighting style accurately, but who cares? The looked bad ass!)
I have been thinking of a final list for some time. This list will be designed to be used in pick up games, my warjournal and hopefully tourney’s.
Strategy:
A solid battle line of M@A back up with the blessing, magic resistance and leadership. The virtues of empathy and noble disdain will aid in holding my troops together. (…“Whatever happens, stay together!”) Meanwhile, a coordinated volley of treb and archer fire will carefully knock big nasties or plink off rank bonus. the Cavalry will be held in reserve waiting to crash into the enemy’s flanks.
I took braziers for the cool factor and because there are a number of WE players at the shop. (evil laughter…)
Please, tell me your thoughts on this list.
