Title: Pre-Mantinea cavalry fight with Optio
Post by: Justin Swanton on Apr 09, 2023, 09:50 AM
Here (https://www.dropbox.com/s/vtsdczq6jpm9g4v/cavalry%20skirmish%20AAR%207%20April%202023.pdf?dl=0) is a small cavalry fight played at my mate Peter's place a few days ago. With small forces, all mounted and highly agile, it is a good demonstration of the tactical trickery Optio is capable of. Enjoy!

Justin, your battle report does a good job of imparting game play and decision-making present in your rules.  Very useful exercise to show the rules in action in a more fluid and dynamic, small setting.

Thanks chaps :).  I reposted (https://optio.freeforums.net/thread/20/pre-mantinea-cavalry-fight-optio) the AAR on my forum with a couple of corrections.

Really good narrative Justin. Now all you have to do is add some more dice
