We had a good game of To the Strongest last night at Curt's man shed. Two equal armies tasked with holding.a dominant hill with a 10 turn time limit. Each side had one command on table with another arriving later.

| Close to the end. Curt's heavy cavalry tried to run over some skirmishers but Sylvain successfully evaded three times running. Now out of position, the cavalry all falling back with Sylvain in pursuit. |
In the end the Irish came very close to breaking the Romans, having eliminated two cohorts and some archers. However, when the time bell rang the Romans held the hill and won the day.
