DGG Campaign Night - The Lamian War
Sun, 11/09/2011 - 14:41 — adminWe had a 10 players plus an umpire at the latest DGG 100AP DBMM campaign night. This format allows multiple short games (approx 1 hour each) between two teams of players to be fought to conclusion in one evening at the club. This campaign was based around the events of the Lamian War 323-322BC when the Greek states led by Athens revolved against Macedonian rule.
In the words of one of the Victors: "I would like to pay tribute to the doughty Macedonian field army generals
and our naval commander on a glorious victory (including our Athenian turncoat Anthony Fitzpopodopolous - you made the right decision bud).
I think history will look upon the Athenian immobile hill-sitting strategy as the cause of their demise.
Great night, friendly players and overall great fun. Look forward to participating again."
Player Briefing
It is 323BC, news has reached Greece that Alexander has died in the
far east. Athens has mobilised a coalition of mercenaries, Aiotolians,
Thessalians and minor Greek states to fight for Greek freedom from
Macedonian rule. They have occupied the pass at Thermopolae.
Alexander's regent in Macedon, Antipater, has mobilised his
outnumbered forces and marched south to quell the rebellion. At the
last minute his Thessalian allies defected to the Greek cause making
the operation extremely risky. However Macedonia's Boiotean allies
Campaign Rules Resources
Sat, 10/09/2011 - 14:57 — adminFor the last couple of years I have been researching wargames campaigns. To a certain extent they seem much talked about but little pursued by most wargamers. However there are a number of places on the web where I found inspiration or at least information about setting up wargames campaigns. This page documents some of those.
Balagan - Campaigns
Lots of different campaign approaches and systems. Not limited to Ancients campaigns.
