Last Monday afternoon I went over to Craig's place and we played a Pacto (small) Mortem et Gloriam (MeG) game, with his Greeks taking on my Early Persians. This turned out to be a very one sided game with the Persians not putting up much resistance. The Persian cause was not assisted by poor shooting and some fairly dire dice rolling in their Kill A Base (KaB) tests which are basically morale tests. It was good fun to get the troops out and have a game with an actual opponent for a change. We used the coloured command discs rather than cards and I much prefer these, less clutter and less intrusive. I will have to put in an order to the Plastic Soldier Company and get some. Hopefully we will get in another game next week, the plan is for an Early Imperial Roman civil war game.

Thanks Kevin, it's been a while, solo games are better than nothing.
DeleteLovely looking game, unfortunate result! Good to get a game in against a live opponent though!

Thanks Iain, fairly normal result for me, it was good to have a game and a chat.
DeleteImpressive and inspiring gaming and figures, Mike!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, it was fun to have an actual opponent, even though I got thrashed.
Deletecan you publish your lists? I have both starter sets, but curious how your pacto lists look
ReplyDeleteI’ll try and track down the lists we used and post them here, the MeG army lists are updated every year so they be out of date.
