War in the Peloponnese- Athens vs Sparta

Sorry for the delay in posting another set of pictures- but it's been business as usual at the Eastbourne wargames club so here are some pictures of another game of Hail Caesar set in Ancient Greece.  The first game- see previous post on 'The Road to Boetia'- was so well-received that we decided to expand on the forces, make up a 6x8 foot table and grab some more players.

As befits the period, we chose to have a fairly open board, so that the battlelines could really get stuck in without any namby-pambying around.  Hope you enjoy the pictures!








At the end of a brutal slog, the Spartan side unhistorically broke and fled- the Spartan commander no doubt bravely blaming the performance of his allies, who made up the bulk of the army.

We'll be continuing the ancients theme for a while yet, as collections get dusted off to try in this new ruleset.  Check back soon for a battle set in Late Antiquity, involving the Sassanid Persians.
