I finally got around to resuming my WRE campaign lads. It's a little late so I can't get all the screencaps in quite yet tonight, but I'll at least post one.
The Winter of 400 AD closes on yet another triumph in the career of Rome's rising star: Sextus Perennis. Freshly returned to Britannia from his razing expedition against the Alamans, the general and his VI legion was forced to swiftly march northward to relieve the Pictish siege of Eboracum. As the VI legion approached, ever more (admittedly small) Celtic armies emerged from the mists past Hadrian's wall, until Sextus was facing a force equivalent to two full-strength legions (split across four chieftains, as the barbarians are not known for concentrating their strength well). Undaunted, the defender of Camulodunum hired as many mercenaries as his pursestrings could support and rode out to meet the enemy on the moors.
Concentration of onager fire and the piecemeal approach carried the day, with the largest Pictish army breaking ranks just before its compatriots could come to their rescue. The Pictish offensive lay in ruins, their chieftains vanquished along with over 3000 of their finest warriors. Sextus was keen to keep up the momentum, venturing past Hadrian's Wall to raze Eildon. It took the arrival of the winter snow to finally stop Sextus's advance and force him to return to Eboracum. The hero of Britannia's legend grows ever stronger with each of his victories, and his favor in the imperial court rises with similar speed.
