Hannibal at the Gates Play Test Game

Last Saturday Charlie, Bob, Ed and I visited Ralph to play a game of Ralph's ancients rules, Hannibal at the Gates. The scenario featured a mix of troop types for us to play test some recent rule changes to pike and hoplite units as well as warrior units such as Gauls. This was a fun game and provided us with some good data on the new rules as well as some proposed additional modifications.

Below right is a photo of some Macedonian cataphracts that we got on the table for the first time in a game. They were very tough both to play and to play against.
