I am soooo sorry I can't go to Partizan to see this "live".

I am one of the many people who follow this little project on your blog, and hop for an extensive AAR.

Personal logo BigRedBat Sponsoring Member of TMP17 May 2013 7:51 a.m. PST

Ah the Yanks are here (and Belgium!)

Yes waasland, I'll make sure that there is a great AAR, we might also write it up for a magazine, as well.

Cheers, Simon

Looks very good Simon – you will have seen our little Raphia mash up on Mike's Blog. I suspect yours will be a little bigger………..

Encouraged me to paint up my Polemarch machimoi, half way there.

Thanks very much, chaps!

Yes Garry, I very much enjoyed the photos of your re-fight, which looked stunning. I think ours will be broadly similar in size, with 15-1600 minis.

Cheers, Simon

Fantastic. My 5 year old son just drooled at that picture and said I really need an army like that.

That's my "It's not for me, it's for the boy" excuse sorted!

What do you use for your pikes?

Thanks EB! Hi IDBI, they are the old Foundry pins, with heads painted on.

Cheers Simon
