Title: In hoc signo...

Today, Lee and I are fighting the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. I'll be Maxentius, being more in sympathy with the Old Gods anyway.

We have some pre-battle illustration too, and from a rather distinguished source:

The usurper's cavalry were pushed back in serious disorder. Thereafter I couldn't dent them!

A beautiful plan. Ruined by dreadful dice.

The Praetorians were utterly ineffectual.

The Alans fell foul of legio minervia; small comfort!

Obviously the Old Gods are not in sympathy with you.  :)

Rematch today. I am pleased to announce that today the old ways prevailed over these new-fangled Jewish fashions. Close one, however; Maxentius was shot by the Christian artillery on round 1, and things were touch and go for a while. Constantine fared no better on the following round, fortunately.

The pagan comeback continues. Today Maxentius actually survived, and put on a special show in the circus involving Constantine....

And the pagans have just won for the third time. Lee needs to be seriously gruntled with a different army and a victory next time (Hussites, perhaps).

Perhaps you had better make sure you subtly loose the next game FK, or you might have privilege's withdrawn. :D

Well, if she takes the Hussites, she can't lose, can she?

Only when attacked by other Hussites.

Good plan  ;)
