Re: Gaugamela Battle Report


 

Greeting Jacob M. -?

Thanks for taking the time and for the kind comments.?

Agreed, I think a modicum of amendments or scenario rules are appropriate, as long as both sides agree. Being a solo wargamer, this is rarely a problem area ;)

You may be right re the scythed chariots. I will have to double check. I seem to recall that they stay engaged until defeated or until the enemy is done, then they are removed. This could take a few turns with a scythed chariot unit having 3 or 4 "models."?

In exchanges with Simon Watson, a well known figure in this group and over in the SoA, I understand that scythed chariots are also able to deploy as a screen - just like the elephants.?

Thanks again for taking the time. Appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks for the report, was a fun read!

I also liked adding the additional perks or rules for the generals. For doing battles during the following Diadochi period I think adding abilities to some of the names figures would be interesting and fitting.

Also for your point on scythed chariots, I believe it mentions in Tactica 2 that after their first melee scythed chariots are removed from the board??
