This is the Slave revolt scenario from the 2024 TFL magazine where a Slave force is out to pillage a Roman farm, hoping to murder the local landowner as well. The landowner has a group of ten family/overseers to help him defend the farm whilst awaiting a relief force from the local town.
The slaves deployed en-mass ready to cross the river.
whilst the landowner readied to defend the farm.
The Roman relief force still hadn't shown up and the slaves were advancing rapidly on the farm. Things could get dicy very soon.
Hooray, shouted the landowner, as the Roman relief force finally turned up.
Unfortunately the slaves used their best troops to break down the farmyard door and sent their Gallic allies on a tour around the farm. The Romans charged in, resulting in a very protracted fight with handbags.
However, soon the might of Rome was evident and the slaves started to break.
Back at the farm, the Slaves managed to break down the farmyard door with the landowner and remaining family retreating to one of the farm buildings, chased by a pack of hungry dogs.
The Roman force was now being distracted by the Gauls who had now circumvented the farmyard whist the herdsmen and their dogs broke into the farm building and murdered the landowner, thus winning the game.
