Your army standard really stands out and yes it's a larger mini to begin with. Very nice overall too!

Great report and models. Magnesia is my favorite battle to model. A perfect mix of everything Classical. Thanks for sharing .. Mike B

Wonderful stuff! [The basing of the heavy cav kinda points to WH Ancients?]

Beautiful troops, and great AAR. Sorry about the bearing, it could have ended worse.

The game looks very good. You can still visit the battlefield though it is not sign posted. Magnesia, now an archeological park, is on the main road to Ephesus in western Turkey. The reducing wall built to keep out the Sassanid Persians is still standing to about 15 feet. The terrain outside the city is as flat as a pancake with very steep hills rising around the valley edge. The river has cut its course through the valley floor. Well worth a visit if you get the chance.
