Today we had another game of Midgard, again in the Second Punic War period. It was a surprisingly tight game! I am not going to tell you who won though! You will have to find out at this link
Enjoy! |

Rome has no honor. Never did. |

Rome has no honor. Never did. Maybe not 'Rome' but some Romans did… Pyrrhus of Epirus's own doctor offered to poison him for the Romans, but the Roman consuls, led by Gaius Fabricius, exposed the plot, sending a letter to Pyrrhus highlighting the treachery of his own people and the honour of his enemies, an act that solidified the Roman reputation for integrity. Pyrrhus rewarded the Romans by releasing prisoners and punished his physician, demonstrating a mutual, albeit complex, respect between the warring sides despite the treachery. |

That's a terrific story -- new to me. Says good things about both adversaries. Thanks, Herkybird. |

Can you day something about the basing? It resembles 25mm DBA basing with smaller figures. |

Hi 79th! Lawrence has based them on 2mm MDF bases and stuck some little square MDF sections in the corners to put little dice (indicating Stamina loss) – I think he may be adding some flock/basing material when he gets down to it!!! |
