 Hi 

Peter came over last week for a game of Basic Impetus. I painted up a Classical Indian army, (mostly from Museum Miniatures with a few Forged in Battle units ) ages ago and wanted to get them on the table, so we went with Classical Indian vs Alexanders Macedonians.

We had a great game , but unfortunately, I got so caught up in the game, I forgot to keep notes , or take many pictures. So no real context, just a scattering of random in game shots that may not be in sequence...

We finished the first game quite quickly, so had time for a second game, for which we swapped armies. 

I managed to loose both games, but with different armies. I really like the Indian army, it has an unusual composition and is very colourful on the table. 

The Macedonian Companions with the blonde gobshite just visible.

One unit of Indian Elephants , being screened by some of the most useless cavalry in the game.

The Phalanx advances with undeserved confidence.

Macedonian left wing, composed of Thessalian cavalry, light cavalry , peltasts and mercenary Hoplites.

Some pike about to become a speed bump.

It's all getting a bit messy.

Indian longbows proved their worth in both games.

Massed longbows, a great bunch of lads. 

Things are about to get stompy..
