Great finish!

Although, being a sore loser, I probably wouldn't use these rules if it's always a tight finish. There's nothing better than a crushing victory! But they do seem very realistic so it's possibly something to try out in the future.

I bet you virtually had your cup of wine to your lips, ready for a victory sip until that last turn!

Hi Consul,

I was astonished; I thought I'd already won! He was very lucky. But then, the week before I pulled a similar late victory off.

Anyhow, shouldn't you be studying? ;-) My eldest boy is interviewing at Oxford today.

Yes 'Dad'. Lol. I've got to write a reflective piece on the Career Development and Planning module i've just finished. No reading or references, just a lot of writing and reflecting! It's a mental drain...

I hope he does OK. He probably works a lot harder than me!

Good luck with that, Consul.

He's a lazy sod. Bright, though... :-)

Is he into the old wargaming too?

I'm now more into it than my Dad!

He plays board games with me; Athens vs Sparta, and other historical games. He wargames occasionally, but prefers WoW to figure gaming.

Awesome as ever! Where are the palm trees from? What rule setup do you use?
Best regards

Hi there, palm trees are from TimeLine miniatures.

Say hi to Barry; by coincidence he was my sub general!

We use the Command and Colors Ancients boardgame rules; I'd thoughroughly recommend them! It's a great game that you can play, without 600 minis.

Very nice battle report on yet another table packed with nicely painted mini's.
It sounded very exciting.

Cheers

Enjoying the Roman stuff Simon. Cheers for posting. You're tempting me back to Ancients with your nicely painted figs and fun looking games. I'll have to try C&C out as I have gone right off WAB.

Hi Trev, the nice thing is that you can play C&C without needing to rebase, so if you find it doesn't suit, nothing much is lost.

Worth a go; IIRC from the web you have some nice Romans!
