I have struggled this last year to keep 2 blogs active and have found it awkward to have the run up to my ancient games happen on the other blog while the final battles appeared here. The thought crossed my mind to shut the other down but luckily I slowly realized that I could just shift the ancient reports over there. So it shall be from this day forth.
So, to read an account of a wargame based on
Thymbra, Cyrus the Great's famous victory over Croesus of Lydia, where reserves and a central position were used, along with some WRG worthy Gimmick troops, to defeat a double envelopment, please step over to the
Gathering of Hosts blog
Happy 2012 to all.
More thoughts on wargaming and battle reports to come here in the New Year.
And a most Happy New Year to you too, Ross.
ReplyDeletePlease allow me to say that this, your "Game of the Month" blog, is one of my very favorite blogs.
I really enjoy all of the "thinking process" that you share with us here. I often find your thoughts very much clearer than my own on various gaming ideas . . . so please DO continue this blog (and having the Ancients battle reports on "Gathering of Hosts" is fine).
May this New Year bring much happiness and many memorable games to all of us.

ReplyDeleteGreat game as always! All the best to you this New year, and thank you for all the enjoyment of this past year, looking forward to much more!
ReplyDeleteYour plan makes sense to me. Which is a bit worrying. Anyway, your posts are always an inspiration wherever they appear.
ReplyDeleteWell done Ross, keep up the good work and have a very Happy New Year.
