Another spoon, this time for Meglomaniaxs, a small comp run by Ray at his house (big house). Two more Wooden spoons, one for Skullrollers in Daventry this weekend, the other for Wintercon in Australia in July. I won’t be attending the second one, but I was honoured to be asked.

Last night's scrap at Milton Keynes . Me using my Meglomaniacs and Warfare list. Pete was using his Early Byzantines again, heftily tweaked from our last game. My Sassanids are unchanged since Derventio. Pete was using 4 competent generals,  2 8 of Skutatoi foot, An 8 of Isurians 2 6s of Hunnic horse, melee experts,  2 6s of Devastating charge cavalry with melee experts, A small  4 of superior kavallarioi also melee experts.  2 4s of AVERAGE catafracts,  An average 6 of short spear melee experts kavallarioi A unit of light foot archers.

I sent one small cavalry forwards, my large superiors moving towards the outer edges of the table. My catafracts were stuck behind without cards! Mark sent his auxilia towards my ...
