Game Master: Peter Loft
Rules: Strength and Honor in 6mm scale.
Description: A small Caesarian expeditionary force was sent to Africa to subdue the Pompeian faction there led by Curio. He defeated Varro’s Pompeians outside Utica before laying siege to the city. Thu Numidian king Juba, sent a relief force to try to save Utica with the vanguard led by his subordinate Saburra.
Curio’s cavalry ambushed the Numidian advance parties and hoped to surprise the Saburra’s forces with his infantry. After a long march, Curio’s legions encountered the Numidians who fell back leading Curio towards Juba’s main force. Saburaa then turned on the Caesarians and attacked them on a wide and open plan which gave an advantage to his nimble horsemen.
