The Port of Satamas wealth and power had grown to significantly over recent months. Many a Remas regiment had come to the port looking for gold, little chance of that Tilean after the wars...
With little need for they service, Legate Lutum was forced to make sure he could pay his troops before they turned on him. He was going to "tax" the local communities and 1) show his worth to the leadership of Satamas 2) pay his men!
We used the scenario from Lion Rampant Tax collection and I had rolled previous on the old Mighty Empires (ME) book to know what my opponent would be facing! The side were 12pts villagers vs 24pts of Remas
The Village of Miofell to the South of Satama was the first village proved any resistance. Methyn Mose was a veteran warrior used to holding the fells about his home against raiding fimir and in recent times the undead. He rallied his warriors, organised the villagers and even managed to get the old crazy "shaman" to some muttering about a wing demon....
Legate Lutum spots Methyn Moss tho the fog and rain!
The villagers take the farm, knowing the fences and hedges would hamper any attackers. Collecting value processions en route and taking advantage of the foul weather hammering the land (reduced attacked ranges)!
The Remas Infantry attempt to shift Mose warriors but they defensive position and organised attacks (Mose had the ability to auto pass an attack role)
Some natives scouts, assumingly known to the villagers as Mose attempts to engage in combat but suffer additional loses and decided it was time to leave the field. (Not until dispatching some of Lutums centurions (elite foot))
The villagers attempted to safe they village, but soon lost stomach for the battle after Mose and his men were forced to leave.
The shaman (I seemed to have lost any photos of him in action) while this was occurring went about the village collecting everything he knew about and gathering from the others en route. He managed to bag 4 items before leaving the field without failing a single order!
The final score was 9-12,
The game was interesting, tho Remas has more unit, it seemed to hampered they progress and effectiveness, Moses men with the ability to auto attack really made them the keystone in the force, Heavy offensive Foot behind cover really are a tough nut to attack and be attacked constantly by!
Tho Methyn failed a courage test, we rolled on the ME character survival table for his fate, which proved that he indeed will return!
So the fate of Miofell Village was to be burnt to the ground, however Legate Lutum may have made a powerful nemesis today....
