Bob is enjoying the chance to game, with his favorite angel looking over his shoulder...
Roman legions.
The Auxilia advance to soften up the enemy.
Four units of Auxilia range out in front of the Roman lines,

Not long ago, Allen wouldn't have been able to put his hands on that part of the table, there were so many Scots.
Steve and "Good" Clay had a tough fight, but the Assyrians held out.
Bob just never seemed to run out of guys! He still had a line of them in the fight when we called the game.
Maybe it was that angel on his shoulder...
