L'Art DE La Guerre - two more games once more













Two more games of LADG with Stephen at chez Steiner which is frankly amazing considering amount of waffling that occurs !! or is it just that I am so crap at this game ?? hmmmmm...............

First up it was my Sassanid Persians taking on Belisarius Byzantines.

Really pretty much a wipe out of the sun worshippers in very short order.

Of course not helped by in one turn my rolling 11 dice in a row and rolling 9 x 1 simply disastrous even if laugh out loud funny, lets not mention my piss poor deployment being a factor
















Second game was a much closer affair with my Punic Romans facing off against Later Macedonians under Phillip.

Very much a 'as Barker intended' (if you know you know) game with solid lines clashing and heavy casualties on both sides.

Game really decided when I lost a clash of light cavalry despite having overlaps and the swift sods then piled through into my baggage but at least in this one dice were kinder (as was my deployment) if not fully benevolent.
