The maps inform the narrative better than just photographs, at least for one of these battles, I just don't always have the time.George Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622222875110390888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988875042394716329.post-38032644814516324082018-06-08T15:36:57.504+01:002018-06-08T15:36:57.504+01:00Epic stuff, do all those pike come with a health a...Epic stuff, do all those pike come with a health and safety warning?<br /><br />The diagrams really add to narrative.Phil Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951076081660516802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988875042394716329.post-81244384836115860252018-06-08T15:03:16.083+01:002018-06-08T15:03:16.083+01:00The rules were War and Conquest and it was a large...The rules were War and Conquest and it was a large battle although that is probably only two thirds of my forces for the Seleucids. You do not need a lot of play aids, I do use arrows personally for routs/charges etc., push and shove markers are round but fit with the terrain and the 'Gods' at the back of the King are for Initiative, my Romans have civilians, Saxons hunting dogs etc. Cheers.George Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622222875110390888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988875042394716329.post-48956960688039849262018-06-08T14:42:46.322+01:002018-06-08T14:42:46.322+01:00Entertaining and informative!

Envious of both types of visuals. <br /><br />What rules were used? <br /><br />Seems like a rather large battle. I did not notice any status markers or other play aids. Makes for a clean table top.<br /><br />Thanks again for posting. <br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988875042394716329.post-78453203753019287642018-06-08T13:29:52.724+01:002018-06-08T13:29:52.724+01:00I use Adobe Illustrator for my maps, you may be ab...I use Adobe Illustrator for my maps, you may be able to get free drawing software which can do much the same thing, like Microsoft Paint? With Illustrator these can be bashed out in about an hour as they are very basic.<br />https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-free-drawing-software-illustrator-photoshop/George Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622222875110390888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7988875042394716329.post-30095175490822076722018-06-08T13:07:55.105+01:002018-06-08T13:07:55.105+01:00I like what you've done with the map.
