Last night I didn't get beaten-Iwas SLAUGHTERED!!!!-I devised a perfect plan,perfect dispositions,but my notoriously bad dice throwing came into effect from the first move,and continued throughout the whole game!!-Am I bitter????.....................
This is the scenario and terrain map-I commanded the Persians whilst Paul commanded the Spartans and Graham commanded the Athenians and Corinthians.
Initial troop dispositions-the game was setup to see who could cover the flanks of their army without compromising the game as such.
The Spartans,the Immortals and the first clash-which I lost!! Maybe I will do better in the centre?
NO!! not a bloody one,but what about the left wing(versus Spartans)......................
Hmmmm!
After all was said and done,I actually enjoyed the game,as did Graham and Paul,so roll on next week,and get well soon to Dave and Brian.
Ah, the vagaries of the dice gods! -I know them well!

Is there no limits to your talents John. Persians? My favourite ancient army. I thought mine were gaudy, but once again you've outdone yourself. Its also good to see you couldnt throw a decent dice to save your life.Great game by the way.
ReplyDeleteHi Robbie,if you read Sherridan,s history of Persian uniforms,you will see that all my colours are correct in every detail-gaudy is as gaudy does!!-glad you,re ok-see you at Stockton?
