TtS Late Romans vs Scots-Irish AAR Intro The Set Up

 Last week we got my Barbarian Conspiracy Armies c367 CE on table for a battle using To The Strongest.

Curt hosted at the Clubhouse but it was my toys in use.  The Romans and some of the Irish darted from the most recent Painting Challenge, but more from a spurt of painting in late June when my wife was away and the temperatures were above 30C.  The rest of the Scots Irish were rebased from a WAB Viking Age project dating back 15 years ago.

I field two armies of equal points for a simple head to head as it was our first time with the rules, although we'd played the ECW development For King and Parliament several times.   Curt and I had a series of texts the day before that went like this.

• If you have a rough sketch of your battlefield I can prep the table.
• How's this

• That’s a good example of ‘rough’. 😊
• Here's what he did with it

A skilled digital archivist can extract valuable info from the worst digital crap.

I assigned Stacy (or resident Mediterranean) as the Romans and Curt and Jeremy took the northern barbarians.
