We played a third round of Lion Rampant using Alexanderian Macedonians versus Achaemenid Persians a couple of weeks back. Somewhere in Egypt this time maybe. At least there was a broken needle that looks a bit Egyptian.
I lost again, it's not so easy to conquer Persia as it looks!
The game was fun and close again, so I expect we'll be back for another go in the future.
Another death and no glory charge for the Companions. Good as they are, they just can't win on their own. Using the Phalanxes as expert foot seargeants seems about right but you don't get many troops with such expensive units.
These guys are the biggest thorn in my side. They seem to perform well in every battle but they are the Persian's best unit, so no real surprise.
