After spending some time creating a camp Centurio Maximus Crisus decided to take a small force and scout out the land. After hacking his way through the jungle he came to a clearing with some vagely familiar buildings and what looked like crops. Oh no he muttered, don't say the Britons are here as well.
Yup I was right, muttered Maximus, as out of the nearby woods came three groups of Britons.
Maximus deployed some slingers to protect the flank of the legion.
However, a group of skirmish cavalry appeared on the other flank.
Maximus split off a group of legionaries to chase off the cavalry...
and moved to shut down the deployment point in the woods.
The Iberian Caetrati arrived to help drive off the cavalry.
If things weren't bad enough a group of British slingers arrived to annoy the legion.
Chief Rollasix took the opportunity to charge the legion. Pila were thrown but did little to stop the charge and the legion braced for impact.
The Iberian Caetrati charged the cavalry who tried to evade but failed. The fight was brief with the cavalry coming off worse and running away.
Rollasix was getting the better of the legion with one group breaking and the other just holding on.
Rollasix now turned his warriors towards the last remaining legion. The fight was brief with what was left of the Romans breaking and running.
As he left the battlefield Maximus Crisus was heard to say that it's time to head back to Italy and civilisation.
