Agoust 20th 844, arab gobernor of al-Ushbuna (Lisbon) informed that it had been spotted near the Tajo River 54 unknown longboats. The agressors land in the shore where they found the opposition of muslim militias and local garissons in three violent battles. The raid long 13 days. The pirates embark and continue their journey. At this time the Gobernor has warned to the emir Abd al-Rahman II (Abderraman II 822-852) in the capital Cordoba, form the presence of the nordmen. Therefore an edict was made hurring to all the gobernator of the seashore provinces to be alert.

This game is based in one of the violent battles carried out by the vikings and the local militia near Lisbon

























Viking victory

Thoughs:
- First time I played Dux Belorum, and solo game.
- I did some errors with the rules, but the mechanics was good for me.
- The battle took its own life and was a very pleasent game.
- Leadership points are fun to play.
- In the future I would like to make an army from the book rather than use my islam list.
- The experience gives me enough interest to stiil playing in the future.
- Few figures to make an army.

Nice photos!

Lovely looking battle

I prefer the feel and look of this game to the earlier Warmaster one. Good that you enjoyed it and are keen to have some more games.

Like it !!

JC,

That looked like a lot of fun, and now there are two fellow Pendraken-ites that are convincing me to look into Dux Bellorum.

Thanks for posting that, and I look forward to more of them.
