Paul from the Man Cave wondered if I’d seen Solo Wargamer: Micro-Campaigning Part II. I hadn’t but I did find it quite interesting – it reminds me of the mechanisms that Two Hour Wargames use for their campaigns. My first thought was that this would be perfect for a campaign featuring Alexander’s trek into the East. (Can you tell what I’ve been reading lately?) It uses DBA.
Macedonian Wars
In the Macedonian Wars Alexander’s successors carved up his empire into kingdoms with their own identity. After some vicious internal strife the Seleucids came to power in Asia, the Antigonids in Macedon and Greece, and the Ptolomies in Egypt. Then a new player on the scene, the Rising Power of Rome, challenged and defeated the Hellenistic states to conquer the eastern Mediterranean.
Macedonian and Successor Painting Guide
This covers Macedonians, Seleucids, Ptolomaics etc. The core of my army is Later Seleucid and the photos reflect this. All figures painted by Ian Galley unless otherwise noted.
Steven’s Seleucid Army for Field of Glory
I’m interested in the Rise of Rome and was very happy to pick up Ian Galley’s beautiful Selucid army when he wanted to move to other projects. This army has done service under WRG 6, WRG 7, DBM but more recently using Field of Glory.
Seleucid in Field of Glory – The Significance of 205 BC
The Seleucid army within Field of Glory are covered by two lists depending on the date, with 205 BC as the dividing line.
Steven’s Mid Republican Roman Army for Field of Glory
I’m interested in the Punic Wars and Roman conquest of Hispania (240 – 20 BC) and Carthaginian was my first ancients army. But that was 20mm and plastic. Now I’m a 15mm guy so I’ve been building up Carthaginian army for the period for 20 years. The army has done service under DBM but more recently using Field of Glory.
Steven’s Later Macedonian Army for Field of Glory
I’m interested in the Rise of Rome and Later Macedonian was my second ancients army. Before I moved to 15mm metal figures I had a Later Macedonian in 1/76th scale plastic figures that I, mostly, inherited from my father. I’m still rather fond of of the army even if the original figures are long gone.
Army Lists for Warmaster Historical
I thought I’d list all the Warmaster Historical (Ancients and Medieval) army lists with a view to seeing what I’ve got.
