Bonus Post - Battle of Magnesia - 6mm Ancients

4 Comments

Early in the con we came across a game of “To the Strongest” – representing the Battle of Magnesia.  This was fought in 190 BC between the Romans and the Seleucids in what is today western Turkey.  The Romans found success with a pre-imperial, pre-Marius Reform “citizen” army.  The problem with this model army was that it was not sustainable in the strategic sense, especially as Roman territory continued to expand.

I do like to the strongest as a game . I think grids on the table for movement work really well

Just for interest Im pretty sure the figures in the photos are Old Glory 10mm
