This is the first of two games on this battle, a fairly small engagement during the Peloponnesian War. I'm sticking to small scenarios for the present as that allows for quick games and even a couple of games in one session. Hoplites in order to test Optio's chanceless mechanisms and see if tactical subtleties still count for armies with a limited range of relatively clumsy troop types. Spoiler: they do.

I played in this game and greatly enjoyed it. The thinking and tactics are different from conventional dice rules.
