As mentioned in my last post this is the solo Coronea CCA game I played last Sunday afternoon. This was a much closer game and the Greeks enjoyed early success in the centre and were actually leading the game at one point 3-0. They were greatly hampered by poor cards, the double strength Thebans, the most resilient Greek unit, didn't actually fight in the whole game. In the end the Spartan right flank wiped out the entire Greek left flank to win a hard fought game 6-3 victory points.

Nice report again! Further to the remote play you were discussing on the last battle, have you played using VASSAL before? That would handle the game easily, and you could translate the on-board position onto the table so that you still get to see the figures in action. Cheers, Aaron
ReplyDeleteThanks Aaron, no I haven’t tried it but will check it out. Cheers, Mike.
DeleteRe: my comment below, I can second the viability of Vassal. Been playing loads for months.
DeleteThanks fmb, good to hear that feed back, I’ve downloaded it and will download the CCA modules.
DeleteMore great Hoplite v. Hoplite gaming!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, another victory for the Spartans...
DeleteThat looks fantastic! Been playing a fair bit of this via Vassal during the plague, but this is inspiring - might have to break out my carthaginians.
ReplyDeleteThanks fmb, it’s fun as a board game or online but playing with figures does look good.
