We have been putting our toes into To The Strongest Ancient rules ourselves and enjoying it immensely. Good luck against those nasty Parthians!Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748239813993573527.post-23984710662603674702016-08-18T23:53:03.537+01:002016-08-18T23:53:03.537+01:00Phil!

Now you are turning into a butterfly and proving you are human after all!

Then the games became increasingly stylised & too nit-picking & competitive, so I lost interest.<br /><br />I am tempted back to dabble in Ancients again by "War & Conquest", which seems to offer the style of game for me for this period. The second incentive is the brilliant plastics coming out from Victrix & others allowing reasonable sized armies at a reasonable price, and topping it all, the wonderful transfers from LBM. <br /><br />Enjoy your new project.<br /><br />Cheers, Rohan.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748239813993573527.post-3189298724324652222016-08-18T12:33:21.982+01:002016-08-18T12:33:21.982+01:00Thanks Phil, Paul and Stokes.

Kidding aside, they call to mind a couple of Time-Life books my parents had around the house on the ancient world (Greece and Rome) when I was a small child way back in the early 70s. Both featured photo spreads of museum dioramas that featured a phalanx battling Persians on the one hand, and a legion laying siege to a Gallic fortress on the other. Fantastic stuff for a five or six year old boy to gaze at for hours on end. And dare I say? Your own figures are even more marvelous. Enjoy them!<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748239813993573527.post-2950236403979121032016-08-17T15:07:39.417+01:002016-08-17T15:07:39.417+01:00Very nice Phil.

The issue I had was finding a set of rules that I liked and my fellow wargamers would use other than the pavlovian addiction they seem to have to Hail Caeser. good luck and looking forward to watching progress.marinergrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393687295535460527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748239813993573527.post-79993002711461777382016-08-17T15:04:58.569+01:002016-08-17T15:04:58.569+01:00Looks great!Looks great!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.com
