Thursday night Ancients

Another outing for the Magnus imperium rules
This time its Alexander versus Darius at the battle of issus
 Persians set up across Alexanders line of supply,
Greek mercenaries on the river edge 
Persian foot backing them up
 Alexanders army facing them 
numerically inferior but hopefully quality will tell

 Persian right wing which was meant to pin the Greek left flank on the other side of the river struggles to comply
 Greeks closing boldly
 Cavalry clash on the Persian left flank

 Greeks struggling to get to grips with the Persians

 Pressure from the Greek right flank begins to tell


Day ends and the Persians are still on the field 
Better luck next time Alexander
