Mater Tua Tam Pinguis Est...
Rules: Infamy, Infamy
GM: Sean Malcolmson
Scale: 28mm
Players: 6
Description: Tired of dealing with the Briton’s hit and run tactics that have plagued his scouting and foraging parties, the legate has ordered a tribune to take large force to a local village suspected supporting to rebellion.

Happy with the opportunity to find glory in crushing the rebels, the Roman tribune orders his centurions to prepare to meet the enemy. In this scenario, large forces of British and Roman armies will square off to control this tribal region. Victoria ad fortissimum!

First Battle of the Odon
Rules: O Group (Normandy supplement)
GM: Brian Hall
Scale: 6mm
Players: 4
Description: Phase One of Operation Epsom assigned the 44th Lowland Division (15th Scottish Division) to take the villages of Saint Mauvieu and le Gaule with the support of the 9th Royal Tank Regiment. As the British believed this was "a lightly held crust" they anticipated that following on from this initial push with Phase Two would then clear the Odon Valley. Phases Three and Four would cross the Orne and Odon Rivers and successfully establish a bridgehead over the River Odon, thus completing the envelopment of Caen from the west. As a result, these engagements are also known as the First Battle of the Odon.
