Impetus Battle III: Casualties mount and the Light Horse dances (2)

Nice, still can't get over the lack of cover though! How about a few close-ups of some of your figures Geordie?

The troops don't tend to hide as in the modern era (except in ambushes as a few Roman Legions fond out to their cost)

Close up of the toys to follow these were hasty action shots while I remembered
