Here is the second battle.
Mount Haemus.
Alexander takes on the Thracians.

Great stuff - I love that you have chosen lesser-covered battles, rather than the usual Issus/Hydaspes/Marathon or whatever. Must brush up on my Portuguese 🙂

Thanks Martin
I look forward to seeing how these battles play.

This is all good stuff, Martin, but don't forget to have a rest over the coming week!

Thanks again, this also looks like it will be an interesting refight to get stuck into.

There are now 4 scenarios.
By the and of 2024 it would be nice to have about 40 so that players can choose to fight an historical battle at short notice.

I will try to add battles from a variety of ancient wars too.

When you have forty odd you can compile them in a book and sell it and make your fortune!

Liking this very much

The link on the PP home page to the 3 historical battle scenarios unfortunately doesn't work for me (it opens a small box with little content).

Also, while clicking on the CK rules text on the home page takes me to the rules section, the 'New' badge in the same text box takes me to the WW1 figures page.

A little bit of rewiring may be in order?

While I'm being awkward about the website, it might be an idea to move the hyperlink to Range 3 to the new rules, and delete the 1998 version references (since these are no longer available for sale, unless a PDF version will be offered in due course)?

Notwithstanding my technical comments below, I do really like the historical CK scenario format: clear, succinct, and highlighting forgotten battles - lovely!

Thanks for spotting those bits Simon.
I appreciate it when folk find these bugs.
It is easy for me to change so all plus.
