Historical battles for CK

[martin goddard]

I am going to produce a couple of historical battles laid out for CK.
More soon(?)

The idea is to make them standard CK games with a bit of scenario change without making it all very complex.

Once I have done this maybe others might want to do some as well.

This is a grand idea, Martin!

I am going to do battle which are not that famous.
This gives players a chance to play the battle and then see the historical outcome.
Unless they are very tempted.
The battles will be squeezed into a CK format so that a standard table and army can be mostly used.

First battle will be 89BC  River Amnias
Pontic defender  Bythinian attacker.

I will be ready just after Christmas.

A nice idea. We can all learn stuff about some more obscure battles.

They are going to be great fun.
It seems a constant that many generals make a run for it as the battle turns against them or sometimes even before

As do some wargamers!

It looks like it's going to be an interesting fight. A real test of two very different forces.

Let me know if you get to fight it. I am getting the crew together to give it a try in January 2024  if they are up for it?

Love the Portuguese part 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎. What a clever way to delay the reader from 'just taking a peek....'!

[John Watson]

Did the Portuguese win the battle? Why is there no Portuguese army list for C & K?

This sounds like a great idea Martin. I am going to give 43AD a go with my current crop of Romans and Briton, after Christmas day and hence Christmas dinner is out of the way. It will be a very underscaled game as the introductory pack from WoFun does not make 300 point armies but it will give me a chance to try out some of the systems. I will bulk them out in the New Year, and then have a look at some of the historical battles, such as Medway and those involving the Iceni.

Don't worry caps the next one might in Gaelic?

[Colonel Kilgore]

I'm disappointed it wasn't written in Pontic Greek or some form of ancient Turkish. Are your standards slipping, Martin?

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