I've been on holiday in N. Wales last week with nice weather and at home doing day trips in not so nice weather this week so I've not had much chance for any tabletop action or painting . Today being especially damp I decided to set up a small game using my 30mm Ancient flats and Don Featherstone's rules . I gave each unit a playing card then shuffled them and dealt 3 cards per side to determine the forces , the game will last for 8 moves .
The Hyperborian force under Count Belissarius consisted of the 1st Thurn infantry , the 1st Gwalur infantry .
And the newly renovated Hyperborian Mounted Archers .
The Hyrkanian force commanded by General Thalis is lead onto the table by the newly re-based Fort Ghori Horse , the 3rd Imperial Guards and the 1st Imperial Archers have yet to move onto the table . Let battle commence ......
Amazing looking game Tony!
ReplyDeleteThank you , nice to get the figures onto the table again .
DeleteSeriously old school. Do missile attacks get a bonus if coming in from the flank and a minus if head on?
ReplyDeleteStand the wrong way and the whole army disappears
DeleteClassic!
ReplyDeleteFirst time on the table for the cavalry units , could be 'newly paint figures syndrome'
DeleteSO evocative... happy memories...
ReplyDeleteThey have a style all of their own .
