As reported in my previous post, I ran the Carrhae game (with Command & Colours) twice on Monday. In contrast to the Parthian walkover the previous Wednesday, the Romans had the better of both games, winning 7-2 and 7-3. Phil Steele led the Romans in both games, aided by Graham Evans in the first. Graham defected to the Parthians for the second game, joining Chris Ager.

| Phil shows off with some classic 'wargames pointing' as Chris (left) and Graham look on despairingly. |

| Horse archers gallop around the Roman flank - but to no avail. |

| The Roman left giving serious consideration to becoming involved in the battle. |

| The first game draws to a close - most of the Parthian light cavalry has run off... |
Horses! You need to tool up those Parthian units with HMMWV's Tim.
ReplyDeleteLets see how those Romans would like that!
I am now going to prove I am not a robot by typing in "pacitic 62"
Glad to see the rules allowed the game to swing both ways.
ReplyDeleteNice Romans!
(phhh like a robot couldn't type " pacitic 62" if it wanted to)

ReplyDeleteAfter their recent drubbings I suspect my Parthians may well be considering such a change...

ReplyDeleteIt certainly proves that both sides have a chance.
Interestingly, I only have to prove I'm not a robot on other peoples' blogs....
i AM a robot and I spit brake fluid on your puny defences.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha!
(Good report, BTW. Nice to see C&C getting some blogtime)

ReplyDeleteIt's as I always suspected! Now be a good mechanoid and deactivate yourself before you cause any more chaos.
Glad you're enjoying the C&C posts - more such games are planned....
