Here are some shots of the Raphia game I've been posting about for some months. We fought it four times over the weekend, using my "To the Strongest!" rules- the Seleucids won three times and Ptolemaics once. Antigonus Megas died- twice! We had an absolute blast, and even had a couple of noob gamers playing like veterans by the end.
Here's a shot of the Leuctra game I'm developing; this is of the temporary Theban phalanx that will be replaced with a deeper version, later on.
We played around 25 games in all, there's a lot more about them on my blog link ..including a stonking video of the phalanx that is not to be missed! Bwest, Simon |

Yes, epic indeed and on the heels of Salute too. |

Very nice! I replayed Raphia once, long ago, and won with my Ptolemaics! Happy days! |

Think I have to revise my bucket list. |

Thanks chaps- these would have been the minis for my Salute game if the Warlords had the space to fit me in. Maybe next year… |

Great looking game Simon – was expecting to see the CGI phalanx in the video marching across the table…… |

Wow, that's an amazing-looking battle! Congrats on a successful event. |

looks fantastic. Great table size and impressive pike rows. Elephants star of the show for me. |

Thanks chaps! I was delighted with how it came out. I'm trying to get a table at a show later this year when I can display it with appropriate terrain. |
