Am playtesting a home grown Lost Battles scenario for the battle of the Ticinus and got through a game last night. Was quick, bloody and enjoyable.

Very nice table, I like looking at your game shelf too, lol.

Thanks Jason – good thing I hid the kids' ballerina game in the cupboard. Could've ruined my cred! ;-)

Aaron,

Nice table and neat scenario.

Look forward to reading your research report in a future issue of SLINGSHOT.

Interesting aar but I don't see how rome could claim a victory being that they left the field of battle. I think this alone should have given carthage bonus points.

Thanks Chris. Hopefully should have it finished soon (he says with some trepidation!).

Soldat – the Lost Battles victory system takes a bit of getting used to but it's actually a stroke of genius. It allows you to separate game victory from battlefield victory so that even on-field mismatches can be interesting games.

Cheers,
Aaron
