"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).

... 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 ... |
And we are going to test them this Thursday! Lovely!
