It´s September in 09 AD and the German tribes, led by Arminius have started attacking the XVII, XVIII and XIX legions in the Teutoburger forest...the Varus Battle has begun!!!
This is an old dio I made 4 or 5 years ago and re-found during spring cleaning
A small group of legionaries, cut off from the main body of troops form a line...
..and meet the onrushing german tribesmen.....
They fight for thier lives but as they tire....
...more and more fall dead or injured....
...their officer falls....
...and as the line Begins to break....
...men cast down thier weapons and flee but safety is a long long way away and ...
...the dark forest is full of revengefull tribesmen..........
Here´s a Video of the 2009 anniversary. It was really great day out. The re-enactment of the battle starts at about 1.45 and the german tribesmen release a secret weapon at 3.20 :-D
