Artaxerxes Triumphant, a Midgard battle report

[anton ryzbak]

Having just painted the High King we decided to give him baptism of fire before the paint was fully dry. 450 points of Midgard troops slugging it out. He brought off a narrow victory! More here https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2025/08/artaxerxes-triumphant-midgard-in.html

Thanks for posting, most useful.
My baby brother used to have that Hinchcliffe Persian King. Thanks for the nostalgia kick.

Having that Persian bloke, perched like a fairy on a rock cake, gave the baddies a subliminal advantage, don't approve!

The oracles told you what would happen.   

A nice write up.  Thanks for posting.

Think I might have asked this before? Can you play the game without a plethora of tokens all over?

Bare minimum I think would be character stuff handled off-table, and you'd have to show the stamina loss to the units and mark Charging/Winning units on the table. Unless you also wanted to record stamina loss somehow off-table.

Harry you can always use sasticmething that looks like it might belong on the table, rather than bright plastic discs etc.
e.g. for Rebels & Patriots a small chicken next to a unit = 1st level panic, & a wounded figure = 2nd level panic (3rd level = off the table  )
