Next up for Pocket Battles...the Greeks.
This is "Greek" in the largest sense, this includes both Hoplite and Pike Phalanx armies, from the rise of Phillip of Macedonia to the end of the hoplites. Which is why there are two pages !
Ordinary Hoplites will be more effective the more of them are grouped together, whereas Pike phalanxes slow down units they are attached to, but give them a powerful first strike.
Greek cavalry, such as Thessalians, are solid but can only fight in small units, so will tend to group together with others of their kind.
The elephant "regenerates" its wounds at the end of the turn, which represents the need to overwhelm such troops rather than chip away at them.
Generals and L/SB/M are fairly generic as befits the breadth of the period and the types of armies.
In total, 209 pts for 57 units, hence an average of 3,67 pts per unit.
Welcome / Bienvenu
This blog drags together, into one swirling maelstrom of crackling energy, my various wargames interests. There are links on the top right to my other blogs, each more calmly dedicated to one particular gaming universe.
I post on Fridays. The idea is that when I post a painted figure, it stays up for two weeks; a battle report, a terrain project, or a few lines on whatever happens to be the whim of the moment, is up for a week.
The pages at the top of the blog contain historical information on the periods that interest me. They are primarily an aid to my poor memory, and not meant to be in any way exhaustive, nor necessarily correct.
I hope this blog offers you much enjoyment and some inspiration !
