Last Saturday afternoon I played a solo Command & Colors Ancients (CCA) game out in the shed. The scenario was from the Corinthian War, the Battle of Nemea 394 BC, with Greek allies taking on the Spartans and their allies. The game played out much as it did historically with the Spartans breaking through on their right flank, while the Greeks won on their right flank. 

The Spartans had some very handy cards in their hand, including a double time and clash of shields card and used these to good effect to smash through the Greek left flank. While the Greeks won on their right flank, it was too little, too late and the Spartans and allies easily won the game 5-2 victory points. While I have the troops and table out I thought I'd play another battle from the Corinthian War, Coronea fought in the same year, so this will be up next.
