Here's another post from the archives, a Sumerian ADLG game, Craig and I played about five years ago. Craig commanded the army of Lagash, while I commanded the army of Ur. Again I don't remember too much about this, apart from the fact that it was a great victory for Lagash!
I've got another Sumerian game planned, using the same armies which have increased in size since then. This will be a Magna sized MeG game with the army of Lagash under King Eannatum and that of Umma under King Ur-luma (these will actually be the troops of Ur). The Sumerian Shakespeare site has a great page on the Sumerian "Hundred Years War" between Lagash and Umma which was fought over the possession of the fertile fields of Guedena:

| Ur battle cars smash into Lagash archers |
 |
| Lagash battle cars lumber forward |
 |
| Battle cars collide on the Ur right flank |
 |
| Ditto on the Ur left flank |
 |
| Gaps appear in the Ur line |

| Still slogging it out in the centre |
This looks great, Mike! Hoping to see more of this.
