Gaugamela








































Played a 4500 point aside Gaugamela game last weekend using WAB. I used my Macedonians (who haven't seen an outing for a lomg time) and Russ and Bob used later Persians. It was a good game with my left flank some how managing to hold on and my phalanx in the centre finally breaking through. I want to play this game using the Crusader rules as I feel they give a better game for classical type battles, there is more command and control and characters are not overly powerful. WAB is better suited to Dark Age (early Medieval) and Medieval games, the El Cid supplement being my all time favourite. The Successor supplement for WAB seems to somewhere in the dim future going on the discussion on the SAD WAB forum. Enjoy the photos. Cheers Scott
