Gents,

Here is a battle report featuring lots of pikemen as well as dozens of elephants and a large number of cavalry. As the title informs, it was played using ADLG. (Sidebar: I have search far and wide but have yet to find a collection of historical refights using ADLG.)

Here's the link to my blog: link

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for taking this on and reporting back. I've often thought (as the owner of a Ptolemaic army) that Raphia would be an interesting refight – not all pike pushing because quite a lot else went on too. And it is one we have reasonable information about.

Cheers,
John

John,
Thanks for taking the time to read or wade through the relatively lengthy narrative. I believe Simon Miller (he of To The Strongest! fame) took this on in the proper way with 25/28mm figures and a giant table. Although I don't own either army, I agree that it is an interesting contest and one worth revisiting at some point.

Good gaming!

Chris
