The greeks are coming!!!!

"Timeo navali ludos propter taedium adferunt!" -  Last week was AGM, an annual affair of great international excitement which would impact on to the time left for gaming that very evening ...

We played a naval game, Post Captain, which turned out to be even more breath taking than the administrative prelude of that club night. I haven‘t read the rules, so I won‘t judge them, they might be terrific - unlike the capability of my club mates of explaining them to me. Apparently I took the wrong turn at the beginning and couldn‘t catch up with the rest of the "party" (and I use the term here in the widest possible meaning).
This picture perfectly sums up the thrills of the game - the one on the left was mine...
... coming to the announcement of the day:

the upcoming 28mm, Classical Greek clash (using Hail Caesar and some new useful rules to test ...)
the army is slowly collecting itself on a nice new printed mat ... figures are plastic Warlords and Victrix  ...

The Spartan King and his men


The Kings bodyguard

The Athenian Allies

More Athenians

Athenian peltasts

More athenians and some light Hoplites

More lightly amoured Hoplites

More peltasts and  slinger

The Thessalian Cavalry

The whole lot ...
