Title: Greeks v Persians - Devon Wargames Group
Post by: carojon on 22 October 2016, 08:24:17 AM
The second game played this month at the DWG was this 28mm Hail Caesar Greeks v Persian set to which got a fair proportion of the clubs figures out on the table for the first time in quite a few years

The game produced a few command and control problems for the Greeks with the Persian force able to get stuck in with their scythed chariots in what proved to be a hard fought game.

If you would like to see how things turned out then just follow the link to the DWG.

A great AAR and some great figures on the table.  Hail Caesar are a good set of rules but there are some anomalies which you think you know but then a re-read makes you change their mind.  I put a lot of that down to the 'conversational' style in which they were written.

Great game and some awesome armies. Classical Greek hoplite armies will always have a special place in my heart for their look.
