Mithridates vs Marian Romans - Devon Wargames Group
« on: August 04, 2019, 08:55:24 AM »
One of four games run at this month's meeting of the DWG was this 15mm Hail Caesar set-to with Mr Steve's new collection of Mithridatic Pontics versus a restructured Marian Roman army built long long ago, possibly in another universe and now rejuvenated for the twenty-first century.



If you would like to see how the game played, then just follow the link to the club blog.

Often it is better to remain silent and let people think you are stupid than to open your mouth and remove all possible doubt.

Good stuff! Impressive forces on the table there. Your HC house rules seem very reasonable.

Terrific AAR and pics! It's also great to see massed armies of 15mm ancients on the table.

Thank you all

it was nice to finally get a Pontic army on the table , my first attempt in 6mm is still on a shelf somewhere waiting to painted which is now never going to happen.I am also pretty sure I still have my first wargaming notebook somewhere with all the armies I am going to build laid out unit by unit, at least I can tick one off if it ever comes to light.

Next up , I am just about halfway through painting up Teutonic knights v Russians .

Agree that that was a splendid looking game and pretty sensible approach to the rules.
