Oh well now we know what's happened .  Its just the normal Lee won scenario.

If you must  marry the reincarnation of Sun Tzu and then introduce her to wargames, its all your own fault!  ;D

Well done Lee  :-bd

What happens when you and the opposition both deploy ambushers on different sides of the pyramid. Mine are fleeing in the second picture.

My centre hit hard and broke up some Tlaxcalans, but we didn't kill one Spaniard all game.

And accumulated losses had my morale so shaky I had to concede at this stage.

Ah, well, we managed to get out hands on some Malmsey this evening, so there'll be a suitable drink to go with the big WotR do on Saturday.

Oh dear indeed, but a great looking game Alexander. At least you can drown your sorrows with some Malmsey at the weekend.

Don't you start on me.....I gave those figures blood sacrifices, (as in, "Oops....I wonder if Leon will notice the red stuff that's smeared on the green masters, before he puts them in a mould.)

Cheers - Phil.  ;)

The Mexican deities appreciate it, and have extended special protection to you ever since. How do you think it comes about that you haven't cut your own head off yet?

Always good to see the range hit the table regardless of the outcome  :D

Clearly the Spanish are just overpowered, that whole false godhood thing gives them an unfair advantage...

Nice looking game FK, Love the Pyramid. Where did you get it, or is it scratch built?

With a monument like that, I'd assume they were Velasquez, St Theresa of Avilla, Cervantes, and Almodovar!
