From BenitoM: Ambush in Hall of Traps (35 points)

Good day everybody. My first entry in the XI edition of the Challenge and also my first cautious steps scouting the Challenge Island vaults. 

 

 

This is an "ambush point" for my Infamy! Infamy!'s Gallic/Briton armies. For those poor souls not familiar with this excellent set of Ancient-era rules, unlike the civilized Romans, the cunning Barbaric armies loved to try taking their foes by surprise. 

 

This is simulated in the pre-game phase by setting a number of "ambush" points of deployment, about which the Romans have only limited (if any) intelligence. In this case the poor legionnaires have been caught totally by surprise, and the scene represents just a moment before the last remaining survivor of the patrol is going to be cut down by the sword.

 

All these minis belong to my venerable collection of 28mm Wargames Foundry models acquired in the mid-late 80s. Last year's Challenge I decided to remove the old enamel-based colours and repaint in a more consistent (and I hope better quality) way.

 

Unless The Snow Lord disagrees, this ambush point is totally aligned with the Hall of Traps theme, therefore I can claim my 20 extra points. Thus, this first submission sums up 35 points (3 x 28mm minis @5 points = 15 points + 20 extra points). I also score my first 15 points in the "Rome and its Enemies" duel.
