Greek myth game using song and blades
« on: June 27, 2019, 03:54:10 PM »
Played a short basic game tonight, 4 Argonauts vs 7 skeletons, although the skeletons lost, they took down 2 Argonauts (using heavy infantry profile) here’s a few pics of the action!

Excellent game and some wonderfully well painted figures.  Can I ask who makes the Argonauts?

Thanks! The Argonauts are wargame factory with a couple of head changes, the guy pointing has a crooked dice head, the other has an empire flaggelent head hope that helps!

Great game and figures. Once again proving the Song Of...series of rules can be used to play just about anything.

Shameless lies; this game was played last night!  lol

Great game it was, too! I forgot how much fun SoBaH can be. We once flirted with the "Advanced" version but the reaction system, whilst good on paper, added more to remember than it did fun so I think the regular version remains my favourite. Looking forward to getting back into it with a more varied mix of troop types and scenarios. Our old Sword of Ares scenario was very memorable!
