With my first batch of Hoplites painted I decided to get them on table in a 20 point per side game. Ths is about half the size of a full game.
Equal Points, 20 each.
Start on opposite long table edges.
Victor is the side with units left on table at the end.
Terrain
The Great Strategos Bronchitis of the city of Scrotas has marched his Hoplites out to face the Tyrant Bellendus of Itchyas in battle.
The Forces
Bellendus and his Elite Hoplites
Testicles and his Militia Hoplites
3 Arete Points
vs.
Bronchitus with his drilled Hoplites
Engorgius with his drilled Hoplites
3 Arete Points
 |
| The field of Ares |
 |
| A full 38 point Hoplite Army from one box of Warlord games Hoplites, 40 figures. |
 |
| And since my Warlord Games Hoplites came with 42 figures here are the remaining two, the pipes guy and a spare leader who clearly doesn't appreciate the Terpsichorean Muse. |
 |
| Bronchitis pays his Arete points to adopt Phalanx. I simulate this on table by lapping the figures' bases edges. It has the added effect of overlapping shields. |
 |
| Bellendus' Elite Hoplites form Phalanx. His Militia Hoplites, without Armour, are still manoeuvering |
 |
| The clash. Arete points used for the charge and a combat bonus on the left. |
 |
| Bronchitus (with the red dice) kills four of Bellendus Elites. |
 |
| The melee from above. |
 |
| The Drilled Hoplites of Bronchitus cut through the Militia |
|
| And Bronchitus dice rolls are superlative! Blue can`t compete with any of the red dice in this game. |
 |
| The end game as Bronchitus and his men chase the enemy off |
 |
| The realm of Hades. Bronchitus lost only four men, whilst Bellendus had seventeen killed, including a guy who literally lost his head!
Bellendus of course survived the omens of fate after the game. A fast runner apparently. Alas poor Testicles came to a sticky and untimely end. His son Testicles the smaller will seek revenge!
