Rome v. Visigoths in the Black Hills

 Chris & Jim took a trip to the Black Hills for an away game using PeterC's rules.

The Romans are in the near side.  Both sides have put their cavalry on the near flank & bowmen on the far flank.
The Romans advanced their infantry only to the foot of the ridge held by the Visigoths while their  cavalry veered left to outflank the Visigoth cavalry.  The Roman avalry adjacent to the infantry were defeated by a Visigoth counterattack, but the flanking force is wrapping around the Visigoth line.
The Visgoth Infantry is counterattacking.  Their winning cavalry ahs been stopped by the Roman 2nd line. Their right flank is being wrapped up by the Roman flank attack.
The Visigoth cavalry has attacked the Roman foot at the foot of the hill, but failed to break thru.  The Visgoth infantry has pushed the Roman foot back, but the LH Roman unit in their 2nd line has wheeled right to hit the Visigoth foot in flank.
The Visigoth foot has broken under the flank attack & it's War oOer the Barbarians.

This looks great too. Your cloth/sheet with a bit of paint applied looks perfect. Simple and most effective.
