Clubbing It! Sassanids vs Middle Imperial Romans!

The inability for me to for me find the time this week to write up the Bat Rep for the latest Sassanids vs Middle Imperial Romans has left me a little disappointed. The game was part of some experimentation and included alterations to the stats of the Sassanid Late Clibanarii which would effect the game in a new way which would reflect their use on the battlefields of the 5th/6thCE. 

I'm not fully happy with with the Sassanid list as it is written in WAB V.2, AoA V.2. In previous games, the Late Sassanian Clibanarii just weren't able to influence the game in a manner befitting their battlefield role. In truth, I don't think we have solved this at the time of writing.

I'll write a post in a day or two and discuss the problem with the lists, our attempt to solve it and my ideas on how to actually solve things going forward! 

In the meantime please enjoy the pictures of the game; and some wonky spears!
