Battle Report - Raid on a Border Tower - Turn Seven

The Levy put their foes to flight!

Once again, Urien Cadwallader saw a chance for glory. The wounded Saebert and his 3 remaining Hearthguard were shocked and battered and made a tempting target. Their level of shock was dangerously high an if he could put them to flight it would bring the Saxon Force Morale to zero and the whole barbarian host might flee.

The Shame! Saebert and his men flee the field in full sight of their Lord!

Rallying his men for a final effort, Urien and the Levy charged the Hearthguard. Only two Levy groups could be brought into the fray and 8 British dice were rolled against the Saxons’ 4. This was a bloody melee in which seasoned killers fought a last ditch stand against farmers and townsfolk. The Levy made 5 hits to the Hearthguards’ 4. One member of the Levy fell, but the sheer ferocity of their attack was too much for the already demoralised Hearthguard. How could they be defeated by farmers and clerks? 4 points of shock went onto the Hearthguard bringing their total to more than double their remaining numbers. They “lost their amphora” and fled. Saxon Force Morale fell of Zero and Garcianus and his Britons claimed the field of victory!
