Hello!
In this threat I intend to keep a list of links to the battle reports I write on my blog. I posted those on the old forum and I am now migrating the list to this one.
Writing battle reports helps me to learn and understand the rules better as I often see how I could have done things differently in the game. Or analyze the alternatives and be better prepared for the next battle! I hope you will find the reports entertaining too.
Thanks!

Great report.
What software do you use for your maps old bean?
Hi mad lemmey,
For the maps I use free software:
http://battlechronicler.com/
I record the new map every time the move is made or action taken. Then I use:
https://gifmaker.me/
to combine all the maps for one turn into a single gif.
Thanks!

Interesting game, I thought you'd be in a bit of trouble because Paul's army is massive. My army for Wintercon is tiny, smaller than yours, so I hope I don't play Paul, I'll be swamped,
Hi Craig!
Apologies for late reply. It was indeed an interesting game and Paul's army looks intimidating. However, we both noticed that it is not easy to coordinate the movement of all units so that may be the key to victory against it.
We had a re-match but I have not yet prepared the battle report for it. I hoped to be able to finish it before WinterCon but it is not going to happen unfortunately.
See you there!

I'm impressed you've played so many games just with the one army.

Hi @nikgaukroger,
It is my usual approach in wargaming, i.e. I focus on single faction. This allows me to achieve to goals:
1. Paint models in sufficient quantity to have options for army lists variations - in this case I only focused on reaching 10,000 points but I did it with almost no models left to paint for Seleucids. It gives me the opportunity to expand now, as I have an army ready to play anyway.
2. Practice with the same faction with only occasional variations to the army list - thanks to that I hope to develop better understanding what I can do with this army. There are so many potential opponents that it really pays off to play to your own strengths instead. While I still have a lot to learn, I believe I am getting better.
Thanks!

I love your reports!!
Love the animated diagrams. Very clever.
It's a real skill to do this and play the game.
Ray
p.s. I change my armies quicker than my underpants. Maybe that's where I am going wrong.
Hi Ray!
Thanks a lot! I am very happy to know you like the reports. I decided to create animations so that it reflects the dynamics of the system. All I need to do is take a lot of photos during the game.
There is nothing wrong with changing armies often! I do admire people who can paint their forces quickly and have beautiful collections of armies for many different historical periods. I have just found I like playing with one army for longer period of time. And at the moment, I would rather expand it, than start a new one.
But who knows, in a not so distant future? :)

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of Christmas gift can I give to my fellow wargamers and came to the conclusion that a battle report could be the thing!

Great report very nice
I am just wondering if you may have a mix of upgraded lancers to cats and not upgraded ones or not !
Another superbly presented battle report.
The `animated` play is certainly the icing on the cake. Excellent stuff.
Thanks, Lance.

Unfortunately, it seems to be the way to have cataphracts and line cavalry in the same army. The only alternative, I think, is to have Agema as Cataphracts instead and then average line cavalry.

Thank you! I am glad I came up with the idea for "animations" early. I hoped to show the dynamics of the game and the fact it matters in which order the units are moved. It is great to know it works!
I am always happy to take on board any suggestions as to how to make the reports more entertaining so let me know if there is something I should improve.
Thanks!

Thanks for these they are a great help in trying to learn the game as I am quite new to it. I haven't been through them all yet, but I was wondering what is the perceived wisdom in always having phalangite's in blocks 4 deep often at the expense of being outflanked? Battles seem to break up into individual scrums with flanks often looking quite vulnerablerather than keeping them intact, is this a common feature of meG?
All the best,

Hi skb777!
First of all, my sincere apologies for such a delay in replying. I haven't played any new game since April 2023 and haven't visited the forum for a long time.
Many thanks for your comments and questions. I hope you are still around to check my reply. :)
I actually had a few games when I used Phalanx in wider formation. Even 4 bases wide and 2 deep. It was against cavalry armies or at least part of the enemy force that was mounted. For example, when there was a relatively narrow passage leading to the flank of my army, I blocked it with wide Phalanx TuG. This allowed me to focus on the half of enemy army with majority of my own force, and having the flank protected. At least for some time.
The same tactics didn't work that well against Mamluks, as they simply shot the Phalagites to pieces. It did buy me some time though, so it was not complete disaster.
In many battles I played the battle line gets broken down to more individual combats often. In such situations the flanks are exposed on both sides. The dynamics of the game means it really depends who is going to activate the right TuG at the right time and at the right place first to take advantage of that.
I also noticed, that it can be turned into a trap. It is hard to resist attacking Phalanx into its flank. However, even in such situation, the attack may not result in quick destruction of the Phalanx. And with some small cavalry TuGs nearby (so that it is easier to maneuver them), it may turn into a disaster for the attacker. Especially when the Phalanx is attacked to the flank only, without being engaged to the front at the same time.
In summary, from my limited experience, it is actually more diverse and dynamic that may look like at first glance.
I hope that helps!
Cheers!
