Battle of Kolonso 480BC.

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????.....................

Not I!!!

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?

The centre and right wing closing-with so many units involved,surely by the law of averages I will win some melees???

NO!! not a bloody one,but what about the left wing(versus Spartans)......................

NO!! not a bloody one!!!!! Maybe after a strong cup of coffee.............................

No,no,no,no,not a bloody one-dejected and humiliated,I conceded-what could cheer me up??

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.
