Paul and I have been having a couple of games on a wednesday mornings,using my "pom-pom" rules,so far we have been playing only ancients but hopefully we can get to other periods over the next few weeks.
This week we are playing a Macedonian vs Persian game,with Alexander's army having to "re-claim" a temple dedicated to Zeus,which the Persians have desicrated!
This is the table set up,Macedonians on the left,Paul has decided that he would command the Persians.
This is the Temple,that the game is centered around.
The persian army-very colourful,and includes scythed chariots,elephants and mercenary greeks,and lots of cavalry.
The Macedonian army.with Alexander on the small hill-will he lead his companion cavalry forward himself??(no chance!!)
I have been painting two WW1 armies-German and British,and intend playing the very early part of this horrendous war-because I am stretching the limits of history, I am calling it World War John!! If finances permit I might get a French army,just to bring a sense of historical reality into my games.
Both armies,Infantry and machine guns-ignore the Tanks(a moment of madness!!)
Cavalry and artillery.I am having a bit of trouble deciding rules for ranges and movement,but should be up and running soon.
