Roman Civil War,Pompey vs Caesar

Yesterday was a classic two game Thursday,against Brian in the morning and Paul at night-great stuff!!
I will just give a few photo's of Brian's great painted armies,instead of giving a narrative of both games-they were both good,taxing and exciting though.Brian is a prolific painter,and has completed both armies in a record time-see what you think...........

These three shots are from the morning game-very spectacular-it felt right and certainly looked right,with plenty of action from the word "go"-Brian is a very modest man,but he must be "chuffed" at the way these two armies look.

The night game against Paul,was a"rescue mission" game-the cohorts in the foreground have been "beset" by Gallic tribesmen,and Paul's objective was to rescue them,as well as beating Caesar's force-simple!!!

With a mixture of light troops,cavalry and Gallic troops,as well as the legions,the game was always going to be a fast and frantic affair-yes,you could say that!!!!

Who couldn't fail to be stirred by this sort of game?-we fought,exchanged lines,suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune(that's bad dice throws,to me and you!!) retired,came back in-wonderful wargaming-classic stuff!!

We are going to a new show,at Shildon,called "Stand To" on Sunday-we are putting on a demo game,using our 54mm plastic medieval figures,so should be good-if you are there,come over and have a chat-roll on Sunday.
We have recently "lost" two members,so are looking for new ones-any takers?

I must apologise for a couple of the photo's being "fuzzy"don't know what happened there-I was sober when I took them-honest!!
