Mortiem et Gloriam Dacians with Sarmatian allies vs Spartans - a real, face-to-face, game!

After six months of lockdown without face-to-face gaming, our freedom is slightly restored. To clelebrate, Paul came round to my garden for a game of MeG. He was trialing Spartans , a list not often seen in classical. I was drerading this, and could either use Romans (slug fest), Sassanids (shooty shoot), Picts (Dev charge and nowt else) or borrow one of the many armies I am painting/rebasing/storing for Si. So Dacians it was, as they are nearly finished for him, and I am building them for myself at the same time. Cheap, nasty, tribal vs expensive drilled elites, perfect! It's not finished yet, so I had to proxy in two units of Nobles (Roman legion) and three cavalry units (Romans and Sassanids), but Paul was also proxying his spartans too... Word of warning,my dice throws were aided by my 8 year-old daughter, we know how this will go! Terrain, just about remembered how to do this! On the right is a wood, on the left a forest, and a rough hill at the rear, rocky ground on Paul...

Guns were abandoned due to noise attracting the undead, so hand-to-hand weapons saved the day. Each region was controlled, jealously, by their gangs. Transit was allowed within certain times for gangs, free movement was gaurenteed for 'civies' the rest of the time, and gangs still fought over the boarders of their patch, now with added sport of zombie hunting. The only ranged weapon of note in these strange days is petrol bombs. These produce some noise, but burn out quickly and were found to be very efficent with dealing with zombie mobs.   The gangs The Warriors (Mark) The Black Aces (Ralph)   The Devil's Outcasts (Clive) (Photo blatently stolen from the amazing Funky Skull G...
