I can't remember whether I've posted any pictures of this show winning game? Certainly not all of the photographs so here we go- hopefully a wee Xmas pressie for anyone interested in the early struggles between the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) empire and the Sassanid Persians.
Battle of Solachon 586 CE was a display game put on by Myself, Brian Phillips, Jack Glanville and JP in 2008 at Clamore Wargames Show. I was given the task of being commander to my own Justinian Byzantines and Jack's Late Romans (which doubled up nicely as Byzantines), Brian his lovely Sassanids and JP with his Sassanids which were originally painted up beautifully by Phil Olley.
We won something.... There's a trophy so I tempted to say it was for Best Display Game though I might be a little out on that!

Beautiful looking armies!

Beautiful looking armies!
Thanks mate; as far as I remember, all of those armies were sold a few years after the demo game! My Justinian (Early Byzantine- consisting of old Gripping Beast stuff) is the one personal army I've sold and one of my biggest regrets.
