Game 2, and after a lovely toastie at the Dice Saloon, I was playing another old friend, Mr Stephen Stead. Lovely bloke, using Carthaginian in Spain. Hard list in the hands of a good player. Will be a real challenge to beat. Deployment, the table was a bald as a coot. And somewhat shiny, which has made the photos look like we were playing on ice! Deployment was me hanging hard on the right flank, looking for anywhere to hide! My Italians come out the forest to play, but Stephen has more and better cavalry than me, it was a case of breaking through the foot line before I was squished! That closed up fast! Stephen was holding back his Spanish, but his spears were tight enough to hold me while his cavalry closes. It's close, could I get through? Stephen moves to contacts my two 5 stand legionarii. He has stopped at 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001mm! But my elephants are very keen to make the acquai...
