The last few days had every video start with ads. I can't believe how much I rely on the internet - and I grew up when we still had rotary dial phones, 3 TV stations (going off the air before midnight) and typewriters! :) Kind regards, DeanDeanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07724268555970663130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-3485933134313346612021-12-06T02:42:04.292-08:002021-12-06T02:42:04.292-08:00Great looking game and figures, glad I can see the...Great looking game and figures, glad I can see them too, there seems to be a few glitches going around at the moment!<br />Best Iain caveadsum1471https://www.blogger.com/profile/02174163740406928172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561181956134839079.post-57562913236235438922021-12-05T06:54:21.818-08:002021-12-05T06:54:21.818-08:00Thank you so much, Christopher.

Both sides had about 13 units each. The Celts had two foot divisions and two mounted/chariot divisions. The Celt warbands were formed onto movement trays - 120x80mm and 80x80mm trays. The smaller tray held nobles in heavy armor and were given better Saves. The Celt horse divisions were two units of chariots (2 chariots models made up a unit), and one unit of horse (6 models). Thanks again!

As for keeping the Romans hemmed in, I did that deliberately - the table set up has them entering a valley of sorts, with them needing to travel up it to reach the village to recover their eagle and standards. The idea was to have the Roman player move up as aggressively as possible. But due to a couple of failed command rolls this was hinder; although the legionary units were drilled, so could always make one move on a failed order.

A few days ago, I kept seeing an icon for a Chrome update on my cellphone whenever I opened up my blog (it was in top bar). I tried to update it, but it seemed to time out. Today, the update icon is gone and now am able to load images again. So...maybe, that was the issue - a browser thingee? Again, I'm really talking way over my knowledge about IT things. My laptop seems fine again, but my cellphone still isn't seeing images I have stored on the phone. Anyway, thanks again for your kind words and visit.
