Second Lockdown Game

[Vis Bellica]

We’re still in coronavirus lockdown in the UK: banned from leaving the house except for essential trips. For most people, that means no gaming or, at best, some kind of online get together. I, however, am lucky enough to have daughter number one’s boyfriend staying with us for the duration: lucky because (1) he likes to cook and (2) he has discovered that he enjoys wargaming.

Our second game was To The Strongest again: it’s grid-based tabletop and simple-yet-subtle mechanics make it ideal for a new gamer to pick up quickly.

This time, I would take a Gallic army consisting of large amounts of hairy-bothered Celtic warriors and face off against an Athenian Greek Hoplite army consisting of large amounts of, well, hoplites.

Well a great way of converting someone is to show them ranks and ranks of brairifully painted minis! Nice work
