Big big fog.....

under contruction








On Saturday, I played my first large scale battle and only my 2nd game of FOG. It was all down to a fellow clubmate, Ray who organised, fed and provided the venue, so many,many thanks to him for doing such a great job.


Full forces



The game started with a massive pike line along for the macs and cav on either wing. The Romans supried us with a cavaly in the centre with legionaires etc on the wings and to the right of centre.



Two centres and two wings were each controlled by one player, I took one of the macs centre lines, containing mostly pike, skirmishes and two elephants.

15mm Thebans

As we are just about to play an almighty fog battle, this saturday, using macedonians v romans, Ive dusted out some old xyston thebans Id not painted and tried some out. I started out with a starter army box set from xyston which was theban 450bc-275bc and had some additional holites to. In fact, Ive just ordered a few extra cav and command troops to help out. The starter pack consists of 4 command, 28 hoplites, 4 peltasts, 4 psiloi and 6 cavalry. All of the figures are very very nice, with only the psiloi a little odd. Nice figures, just smaller then the others oddly. Anyway, Ive knocked some up and here they are. I need to do some work on the shields and base them, however im quite pleased with the results.
so without futher ado......



Theban hoplites and command. Had pikes to begin with before cutting them down. Will need to investigate this a little to see if they did or didnt...
