Good morning Senators, Kings and Chieftains.

I am presenting another one of our ever popular Ancient Battle weekends.

This will give you the opportunity to play out all four of the Battles offered at least once during the weekend.

There is a wide variety available and only a limited number of spaces available.

…in fact I shall bring at least 6 games this November including provisionally:

* Thapsus – Caesar vs. Pompey and Juba in North Africa

* Megalopolis – Antipater's Macedonians attempt to seize a mountain pass from the Spartans; this game reduced us to tears of laughter, back in May.

* On the road to Ravenna – Late Romans, Roman deserters, Goths and Huns battle it out in Northern Italy

* Zela – Caesar chastens Pharnaces' Pontics; or not, as the case may be…

* Athens vs. Sparta – will Athenian numbers triumph over Spartan prowess and drill?

* Take the High Road – the Romans intercept a raiding Pictish army

There will be as many minis as my car will carry – and I have a very big car! :-) The rules will be my relatively simple "To the Strongest!" set. If you haven't played these before I will instruct you on the day and give you a copy at the end. A fine time will be had by all!

Best, Simon

Hi Mike, it'll be good to see it again; I've been "resting" the game. I plan to roll out some more Romans so it should be an even bigger game this time.

As Mike says, superb display!
Would love to have the chance to play there!

By the way, we are playing third game tomorrow and forth saturday.
Great rules Simon!

I like that picture above. The terrain is a refreshing change from the blank billiard tables common to ancients games.

No blank billiard tables at the Wargames Holiday Centre!

Indeed no. I love watching players fight their way up the huge hill!
