Thursday night game

So it was back to old school ancients this Thursday as frank commanded the Greeks and i took the Persians

 Greek Hoplites take the top hill 

 Persian centre and right 

Medes infantry hold the right hand side of the settlement whilst mercenary Hoplites and lights move up on the other side.

bottom right is the Persian reserve cavalry

 Greek left wing commander moves up 2 units of Hoplites and one of peltasts.

Persian bow and javelins moving thru the swamp to engage.

 Persians push forward on the left with lots of lights

 Greeks off the hill and into the Persians

 Persians were content to skirmish with the Greek right flank.

Greek wing commander couldn't get the Hoplites moving.

cavalry duel in the centre as Greek peltast and archers take on a medes regiment.

 Greek Hoplits slowly push back the mercenary hoplites.

Combined skirmish fire kept the Greeks at distance.

End game :- draw

Greeks could not get all their Hoplites into close combat where they outclassed their opponent.

The Persians were happy with that outcome too and were content to keep them away with bow and javelin fire.

Cheers Frank

Good game
