Summary

Well fun game..So the Skitarii 2.05 list was done by Norto and I thought I would take it out for a run.

Most of the guys though it would do well against Infantry forces and that true. If Knights didn’t make so many saves, then it might have been different story…Both forces were low activation count, so losing formation or having them broken was not good…

I still think the Ordinatus Minorus could still do with the option of having a upgrade of another Ordinatus Minorus..
