This, and an illustrated talk he did helped me to make more sense of not just his rules but the classical warfare in general.<br /><br />TimTim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-30068079249062475252010-06-12T01:11:26.604+01:002010-06-12T01:11:26.604+01:00Wow

Th...Thanks Geordie - I'll have my glass later!<br /><br />This is a period I dabbled in years ago (WRG 5th Edition!) but never really got to grips with. Although I'm no expert Strategos seems to look and 'feel' right. It is very difficult to control armies, even relatively competent chaps like my Greeks. Every game that we have play with these rules has hung in the balance until the final turn.<br /><br />TimTim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-12762753070992179692010-06-11T12:19:40.695+01:002010-06-11T12:19:40.695+01:00Excellent report
