Title: Spartans and Successors

A quick plug for my most recent set of rules here. "Spartans and Successors" is a simplified play-on-a-kitchen-table set of rules for battles during the golden age of Greece & Macedon. The game uses DBA sized armies and playing cards (no dice!) on a 10 x 7 grid. The scale of figures is irrelevant as long as they fit in the squares. The rules include 12 historical scenarios and cost £5 from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09H8MQKZ2/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09H8MQKZ2/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) and Wargame Vault https://www.wargamevault.com/product/372325/Spartans-and-Successors (https://www.wargamevault.com/product/372325/Spartans-and-Successors)

There's a fuller description of mechanisms and so on over at my blog: https://wargaming4grownups.blogspot.com/p/spartans-and-successors.html (https://wargaming4grownups.blogspot.com/p/spartans-and-successors.html)

Go on. Treat yourself.

I did. I treated myself and got a copy of these since I enjoyed reading 'To Ur'. I haven't read them yet but I'm sure I'll try them out once I've cleaned off my table and square it off.

Thanks for your support. Inexplicably I posted the original item, and forget to mark it so I'd get follow ups. What am I like?

I do my best. That's my second set for the year, compared with 4 in 2020 (although one of those was a supplement). always trying something different.

Bought a copy at the Partizan show last week, and read through them yesterday.  Read well, some interesting mechanisms and I look forward to giving them a run out. Just need to dust off my Hoplite Greek and Achaemenid Persian armies. My Seleucids may have to stand in for their earlier brethren.

Good to meet up! I won't admit to who stood in for who when I was play testing, just to say that my Assyrians have seen more service as troops other than Assyrians as they have for their own side.
