The hill is taken early by the Syracusan Hoplites which would prove decisive |
Great fun game tonight as Guido and I took on Jeff in another To the Strongest game. So much fun.
Light cavalry on the flank tries its best. In fact it fought superbly. |
Jeffs excellent Hoplites |
The view from the Persian lines |
Absolutely love the new chits from BigRedBat Shop. |
It was an enormously fun game and though the Syracusans had a narrow win, it was a well fought out battle. Great set of rules.
Another great game Carlo, thanks for the invite to play. Yes it was a very close finish, we only needed to destroy one more unit. Next time maybe?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Peter.I let you down in that Hoplite slog on the hill. Always great fun.
DeleteThat looks like fun, and I'm still hoping to convince the group I game with to give TtS a run.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a superb game system Lawrence and you can take it as seriously as you like for competitions or casual as you like for a Wednesday game with mates and a beer. Highly recommended!
DeleteA lovely colourful game Carlo...
ReplyDeleteI was rooting for the Persians of course...
All the best. Aly
I’ve always liked your style Aly.
DeleteGreat looking game Carlo
ReplyDeleteThose Persians are fabulous!
Cheers

Thanks Matty. At times I think they are a bit like Neapolitan Napoleonics- very pretty to look at however a bit brittle under pressure.
DeleteGreat looking game Carlo- lovely figures. I am going to have to try TtS
ReplyDeleteIt really is a great system John. Easy to learn however sophisticated to master. We enjoy it immensely.
DeleteLooks great, and it seems like a very close game. I am considering whether to add Persians to the collection after I finish expanding my chariot era and Indian armies, that is!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly should Peter. I’m actually contemplating adding a few elements of Bowmen with lavishes to set out an Early Achaemenid Persian army. Your chariot era armies are looking superb by the way. I’m very envious.
DeleteBrilliant stuff but I'm particularly pleased that for some mysterious reason I seem to be able to comment again, so I'm just going to work my way through the most recent posts now!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kerry and I’m glad your commenting box has been ticked again by the great blogger guys ing HD sky. I’m still hit and miss with mine, especially when I’ve written a detailed response ..that always disappears into the ether😂. It’s inversely proportional to the number of words.
