| Some particularly keen pachyderms in front of my newly crated Indian camps |
Another fantastic nights gaming at the NWS saw 1430points a side of Classical Indians versus the might of Macedonia. Its amazing how restricted and selective you need to be when putting together an army of only 130 points, especially when you are fielding forces with so many points invested in either Elephants or Veteran Pike!

 |
| Three units of Raw Longbow - they would fight well. |
 |
| Maharajah Carlo looking resplendent in a yellow hair scarf! |
 |
| Steves wonderful pike blocks |
 |
| More of the same...bloody wonderful Foundry models |
 |
| Veteran Pike the lot of them! |
 |
| Steve advanced rapidly in order to reduce the space between our two forces and attempt to weaken my missile power. |
 |
| On the Indian right companions make their way across rough ground |
 |
| Later in teh battle - a bit out of sequence-more Companions do their worst! |
 |
| Stay in that rough ground gentlemen |
 |
| The fire was fierce but not all that effective unfortunately |
 |
| After quite a few rounds of combat the phalanxs withdraw...the lucky bastards! The elephants continue their pursuit on the twice hit blocks of Macedonians. |
 |
| Lonely out here. |
 |
| Aaahhh- the dreaded "Double 1" chits when the enemy is absolutely at your mercy! |
Another great fun night playing some sensational rules.
Love the elephants!
ReplyDeleteThanks HA - I do too however it was hard to squeeze even 5 into the list!
DeleteLovely elephants and pikemen!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks so much Iain.
DeleteGorgeous units!!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Phil. I think the larger basing of TtS and Impetus really allows the figures to be shine.
DeleteLooked great, especially the camp. It was certainly a night for pikes battling elephants.
ReplyDeleteCheers Nark. I thought your game looked sensational as well and was highly amused to see the Indians and the Macedonians fighting it out on adjacent tables in both 15mm and 28mm.
DeleteGreat pics! 😀
ReplyDeleteCheers Stew. That little old iPhone does make life alot easier these days.
DeleteGreat looking forces Carlo. I also love the Foundry Macedonians - in fact all their ancients
ReplyDeleteRichard
Absolutely great range Richard. I love the variety in their poses and the crispness in the sculpts. These games have been great for bringing new life into my old wargaming ancient collections.
DeleteGreat looking figures!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Mark. Steve’s Macedonian Army is sensational.
DeleteGreat looking games Carlo. Keep up the great battle reports.
ReplyDeleteRegards

Thank you very much Nathan. Have you given these rules a run yet or are you still heavily into Impetus? Same basing.
DeleteNot as yet sorry Carlo. We have the rules but just seem to involved with Impetvs at the moment.
DeleteLooks great, and a classic match up in every sense of the word! ExpNding my own small Indian army is a long term goal.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Peter. I certainly think the Indians in all their TtS games I have used them have proven themselves very sturdy against the might of the Macedonians. Look forward to seeing you expand your lads as well.
DeleteLooks great Carlo. How do I e-mail you. I'm looking to see if you have the original In the Grand Manner Reaction markers still? Rout, retreat etc. If you do, could I get a copy of the file?
