Over the past two nights I have been fighting a15mm solo game using my Globally acclaimed Red Pom-Pom rules!! What better way to spend a cold winter's night than playing with your self and a glass of rum?????
These two photo's show the table layout with the Persians nearest the edge and the Greeks facing-the Persian army had Elephants and Scythed Chariots!!-these proved to be a bit of a nuisance to the Greeks!
These two photo's show the flanks,top one shows the Greeks being attacked early on,whilst on the other flank a steady advance throws the Greek command into a bit of a "TIZ!"
The Persian line advances-medium infantry(axemen) in front-the left flank is engaged now hindering the advance of the large Spartan phalanx!
Elephant charge disperses the Greek light cavalry,whilst the other two are advancing onto the Greek Peltasts-but what of the scythed chariots??
They are heading at break neck speed towards the Spartans-this will be interesting!!
On the other flank the chariots and Elephants have smashed their way in to the rear of the Greeks-the Spartans eventually neutralised the chariots hurled at them,and started their advance on the main Persian line-I'm sweating now-time for another Rum!!!
Top photo shows the Spartans re-organising themselves and still unable to move because of the cavalry battle going on on their flank!
The main battle in the centre is hotting up,with both sides supporting their front line,the Persians are suffering badly,and with both flank cavalry battles being lost,and the Spartans at last able to move,all looks lost!
One last shot of the table showing the state of the Persians,and the Spartans about to roll them up!-This was another exciting game where I can decide what the Generals would do in "real life" and not fight to the last man if an avenue of escape is present.A very happy new year to you all,I'm looking forward to some great games(solo and club) in 2025.
