Fancy Playing Out The Battle Of Raphia?

66 Comments

It looks like if you fancy delving into the world of Ancient Wargaming there is a tabletop for you to get stuck into.

This one plays out The Battle Of Raphia and shows off some awesomeness as the two armies clash with big elephants and masses of ranked spearmen.

Truly epic battle. Mass-ranked tabletop gaming at its finest.

I like all sizes of engagements, but quantity definitely has a quality all of its own 🙂

Small scale, big table = impressive looking battles that really feel like battles. Looks awesome.

Very nice looking game, elephants are always going to be a big hit.

Nothing beats the spectacle of mass battle games, especially nicely painted on a good board.
