Great stuff, Simon, I've been waiting to see the final outcome. I've just posted a rather sparser battle report of a game in which the inferior quality, larger army, used very similar delaying tactics to your Pontics, albeit with more missile success (Persians against Macedonians). Your photos are very impressive.

Incidentally, which manufacturers are your Marian Romans?

Hi Paul, yes I read your battle. It seems like Alexander is encountering a few local difficulties!

The camera I use is pretty cheap but idiotproof. Coupled with a decent tripod and free Picassa editing software, it rarely fails.

All the legionaries are Foundry. I have the better part of 500 painted, because I aspire to doing big Roman Civil war battles...

Wonderful figures, table, and a great game system.

Thanks Dougi!

By way of a postscript, Greg Pitts from the US has given me a very useful map of the suggested deployments for the battle; when we play it next , I'll certainly be moving a few hills about! We had the position of the detatched Pontic LI on the hill, rather wrong.
