Last Friday afternoon I played another solo MeG Pacto game out in the shed. This time the Early Seleucids taking on the Graeco-Bactrians, both armies with pike, elephants and decent cavalry, although the Bactrians had the advantage there. The Bactrians had the upper hand early on, routing a unit of Seleucid line cavalry. A pike and elephant slogging match commenced in the centre once both sides closed in combat. The cavalry combat on the flanks also proved to be protracted, before the Seleucid flanks finally broke under the weight of numbers. Despite the length of the game the Graeco-Bactrians won easily 15-2!

ReplyDeleteThanks Michal, the Graeco-Bactrian list has some good options in MeG.
