Ptolemy marches on

On Tuesday we played the latest in our Empire campaign games.  I set up a defending Antigonid army in expectation of Ptolemy's successful thrust northwards.  Needless to say, I got hammered.  Wiped out.  Stuffed.  I lost...
Ptolemy's phalanx advances remorselessly.
David performed well to our right.


The final photo shows our centre going crunch.

I ran the left and David the right; we shared the centre.  My dice were appalling, and Gordon opposite me was the opposite.  We were simply steamrollered.  I'm glad I got that luck out of the way...

Anyway, next up is another Carthaginian attempt to take Iberia.

    Cheers, folks. I can say that the horrific dice didn't bother me. From the point of view of the overall campaign, I don't really care which Successor state duffs up which. They will soon all be pilum fodder anyway...
