Lovely looking game Ian, now we just need to see the enlarged phalanx in all its glory. You are well and truly covering this particular interest of yours - is there anything else out there lurking in the background that you would like to cover ?

After Successors, you will naturally move to Romans, Indian armies, Classical Greeks, and soon that will morph to the entire Ancient world and then the Medieval, and then Renaissance until you eventually have a project for every period!

Gregor, thanks for the comment, desperately trying not to have other projects 'lurking' I have run out of shelf space  lol
Easy E, Renaissance covered and I've already done classical Greek, but thanks for trying to steer me down the path of madness  lol

I just went back and looked at the date of the first posting - May 2020 !! So nearing the two year mark for tracking this project on this thread. Be nice to get the phalanxes rolled out before the two year mark is passed. Rules written and hundreds of figures painted - impressive. Keep up the good work and I certainly look forward to the completed "opus".

Westbury, as has been pointed out you started this nearly two years ago. I've looked back at some of my early posts commenting on figure choices and rules.  Your armies look most impressive. I will confess that the Seleucid I finished back in 2020 was much smaller. I normally buy armies sized to fit my normal 6' x 4 '  gaming table plus a few extra units for variety and choice. Just starting a Marian-Caesarian Roman force of a mere 160 figures.

Westbury, no bullying just admiration "for a job well done". I am currently  yo-yoying between ECW, Caesarian Roman and modern French, with a smatter of 1980s 1/300 thrown in for good measure. I like your single minded determination!
