Yesterday saw me trotting round to Andy's for a game and a half of MeG. Game one was my 10mm Imperial Romans vs his 15mm Early Franks in an historical match-up somewhere along the Rhine frontier. Game 2 was a trial of my 15mm Hausa vs his 15mm Karim-Bornu (made up of proxied Mycenians, Assyrians, Greeks and Macedonians, but at least his were painted), another historical match up! Warm mince pies, yummy! Very dense terrain with a coastline, nothing came off. Roman informants did a good job, allowing us to outscout the Franks by 50%, hold on, that village isn't very Germanic... My first hand. Good thing I have no allies! My two cavalry surge forwards to take a strong blocking point in an effort to stop Andy's horse (my force is so small that if those lot get into my backfield I'm in deep trouble). After turn 1 and my forces are rather spread about compared to a wall of short spear, devastating spear barbarians, some of which are superior fanatics too! ...
