Nice looking army Robert. Cheers, Thanks Greg,
I miss Camel riders and Dahae horse archers to complete an order of battle for Magnesia 190 BC. I will cover that topic in a later post.

The latest historical match games have been posted to the blog, Rome meets Carthage.
By Thursday, I should have the Rome vs. Seleucid games posted. Following that, the series of test games will feature the Seleucid against a host of enemies nearly mimicking the adversaries of Antiochus III.

A nice series of battles Robert. After the first defeat questions would have been asked in the Senate asto why the Consul didn't fall on his sword!
Cheers,

Cheers, Actually a different report would have been read by the Senate excusing the minor setback due to lack of troops, many of them were lost at sea and never arrived or those that did arrive fell ill to an unknown disease. But for the glory of Rome we gave battle.

Nice series of battles Robert. The Nabataeans are one of my favourite armies.

At first glance, the Nabataea look very weak lacking any troops that could deliver a good punch. However, two archer groups raining death and destruction can wreck anyone's battle plans.
Not once were the Nabataea inclined to position their troops in rough ground or on difficult hills but were willing to take the fight to the Seleucid.

Once again Robert, another series of interesting battles. I think that the LPIA are a much underrated army.
Cheers,

Very much underrated as they have ideal terrain choices plus a good mix of infantry types with blade at the top of the list. Properly used, the LH can deal with most of the mounted threat that can be delivered by the Seleucid.
Still looking for the best way to handle camel mounted troops, used en masse they seem to drop like flies.

Another great series of battles Robert. The third one must have been a cracker.

Subsequent matches are falling into a similar pattern - interim scores even at the end of a turn.
