After another successful raid the Romans were getting a bit worried so they decided to call up the legion. However, Meales Onwheals put the word out and a few of his mates turned up to help punish the legion.
Meales Onwheals deployed the warband in the north with the legion looking on nervously.
The Dumnonii rolled forward at an imressive rate hoping to limit the manoeuvre room for the Romans. However, some were less enthusiastic and with a bit of deft manoeuvering Chris, on the Dumnonii left flank, managed to create a curious warrior stack.
Meales Onwheals' mate in the light chariots found the hole in the Roman line and headed towards the camps. The legion marched on and caused disorders and managed to kill a warrior group. Things were looking a bit dodgy in the Dumnonii centre. Tea was needed to bolster morale.
Clearly it was some magic tea as Meales Onwheals ordered a general advance on the right flank, with first one legion falling, then another and finally a unit of auxiliaries.
Simonus dismally surveys the rapidly collapsing Roman left flank.
Meals Onwheals' mates run riot in the left flank Roman camp.
The Romans were down to a few victory medals so taking advantage of the hole in the Roman line the Elite Dumnonii warband looted the Roman Centre camp, after mincing the Roman artillery.
Tonious, with a curious portent of things to come, forms a defensive square on the Roman right, ready to cover a possible retreat......what did he know?!

I've read the Asterix book where the British find that some herbs in hot water (tea) gives the same effect to them as the magic potion does to the Gauls. Who knew it actually worked!
I have that book
