Warhammer ancient battles isn’t a favourite but many years ago we did a bathtub version of this battle using Vis Bellica
Very interesting and is definitely something different than 2 straight battle lines walking towards each other. Though I did think we were going to get a rendition of the Grand of Duke of York with all the going up and down the hill!
Weirdly there is a spartan version of that poem from antiquity
interesting.
Interesting military battle!!
I’m a WAB fan still, despite the buckets-o-dice mechanics. Great to see such an intereting battle being shown.
Ancients! One of my favorites.
We tried to cover a lot of it, in different systems too.
WAB is great for getting new people into historical. There was a time everyone knew the rules just in a different context.
Very nice idea and like most people, never heard of it. History lesson for me.
In many ways this was the battle that was actually important in how this war turned out, rather than Thermopylae (as @avernos says) but I might also add Salamis.
