OGAM - the Delphi incident.
« on: May 25, 2018, 10:03:50 PM »


n 279 BC, hordes of Celtic invaders swept down on the Greek world from the wilds of the north, destroying all before them. One branch of the invading army attacked the sacred oracle of Apollo at Delphi. According to ancient writers, the god Apollo appeared before the barbarians and put them to flight. This is the story of the Delphi incident...

I'll give you a hint of how it went down. The oracle may have uttered the words: "If you fight this day, a great empire will fall."

Temple bits are aquarium 'furniture'. I always keep an eye out when I visit a pets hop, but these ones in particular are Amazon purchases.

Thanks for the kind words gents. I don't get to play OGAM enough, but each time I do, I start thinking about which new force I'd like to start raising... :)

OH Yeah!  ;D

I am SO going to play some OGAM, as soon as I have painted enough Greeks for one faction - I expect to use Lizardmen as opponents (with a Slann mage priest as 'god').
