So as we make progress towards the release of CLASH of Spears and we prepare some interesting announcements in upcoming weeks, we are still running games every weekend and doing some demos
In this game a gallic chieftain pushes his warriors in a scavencing raid against Greeks from the city of Rhegion. The barbarians got some incentives from the Dionysus, Tyrant of Syracuse, who is unhappy with Rhegion's reluctance to join his "Greek League"
As the armies get ready for battle they still need to be fed, and so scavenging skirmishes are taking place all over...

Despite their best efforts, including the gallic chieftain jumping from his chariot to join his troops in battle, the greeks prevailed...
Next some pictures of demos we ran at Game Kastle opening here in Austin TX

Those are some brave sheep! They never moved despite the battle raging around them.
Still eagerly awaiting the rules and trying to decide what figures I will get.
Keep posting updates!
-
yup they are... but they ended up being dinner for Greeks :)
-
As there haven't been any posts on the website for 2 months, I wasn't sure if that was the right one. I'll track down your fb group. I'm enjoying your battle recaps and looking forward to more details.
-
Yes, it is just that these days everything migrates to facebook :) plus I've been working on a page fully dedicated to CLASH which will be needed in a couple of months, plus we've bee working sending the book to layout...
All that meant that although I played some games and I posted updates on FB I did not add the to the blog.. my bad. The limitations of the independent developers !
https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheWargameSpot/
The FB group and the blog are of course linked but all the questions asked by people are on the FB page so there I've been answering details about, "hey what lists?", "hey how do charaters work?", "what about basing?", etc etc...
Once the book is out my concern will be to keep a single link for FAQ, when we used to use forums it was easy to search previous questions from players, now that this happens on FB it is more tricky unfortunately... We will have to take extra care on that...

Great photos.
Am looking forward to the rules.

Hi Francisco
I really hope that your little men sacrificed these sheep properly to Ares before eating the appropriate parts, for if not... better call for Aphrodite-lover-of-games'help if you want a safe publication! lol

I don’t think they did...
Apparently the greek army of Rhegion suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of barbarians a few days later !!!
:D
