Dux Bellorum campaign game 1

Another cracking game, Steve - I really do need to add DB to my to-do list...again

Lovely looking game Steve 

Agree with your comments about the ford; I try to place fords / bridges etc to the flanks (and use at least two) as they can tend to stagnate games.

Very nice, and the perfect rules:scale fit.

Will bear this in mind for future games .

It just helps prevent the "meat grinder" you get with a single crossing.  I don't use DB rules but since most rules seem to reward clever maneuvering, two bridges bring positioning back into play.

Another fun thing to do is run the river top to bottom rather than side to side and make both armies deploy a rough 50% of their forces on either side.  The bridge then becomes pivotol in allowing reinforcements to pass over

Cracking looking game as always Steve 

Definitely time to bring on the killer sheep!  They can have great fun chasing the berserkers round the field 

Once the painting competition's over I need to sort my dark elves to fight the fantasy Egyptians I'm entering and/or revisit my 2mm historical plans...

Cheers!
