Fields of Glory

In my continued attempt to find a good set an ancient rules, and to play through each set at least once, Rod and I played Fields of Glory.  I have played this before, but Rod hadn't.  We played the two starter armies -- Roman and German.

We quickly gave up on the terrain setup, which is the WORST part of field of glory.  We just set up some reasonable looking terrain.

The game was closer than it looks.  It see-sawed in the middle and on my left flank.  But on the right flank some of Rod's skirmishers managed to beat some Auxilia.  Rod then exploited the advantage to start rolling up the Roman line.  The Roman cavalry intervened to stop the rot, but they couldn't do much than slow down the German steamroller.
