MONGOLS vs MONGOLS

Gentlemen, “A Meeting Of Mongols” (typed using Georgia font) was posted on 07 February to this blog. This was a large scenario played solo using TRIUMPH! Twenty days later, what might be called a follow up meeting has just been posted. This was an equally if not also unusually large scenario played ...

Re: Urartu vs Assyrians

Very nicely done!

Lovely table and really nice minis. :)

Can definitely relate to making mistakes re rules and such! :?

Thanks for sharing.

Gives me more than enough reason to look at trying something similar, though by no means as pretty or professional.

Cheers,
Chris

Re: Some light reading (about Ilipa) . . .

Gentlemen, At first, the number of views was exciting. And then it was humbling. Then, it was curious. I should have experienced that emotion or suspicion first . . .

Re: Melee clarification, please

Thanks, Rod, for your usual rapid response. It appears that I muffed this one . . . I had it correct, initially, and then second guessed myself. D'oh. As I played it out, the Bad Horse were defeated/destroyed, and the JC pursued as they had doubled the score. A hiccup in the overall process, but I a...

Re: Babylonians vs Assyrian 28mm AAR link

Sorry that it took me a year to notice, but I second Rod's opinion.

Very nicely done, indeed.

Testing my resolution not to copy the gorgeous battles or posts presented by others . . .
