Homers The Silly-iad: 5 Madaxeman Mycenean Reports

[madaxeman]

After freezing our nads off at the Ascot racecourse last year, the 2022 edition of Warfare turned up the heating significantly with a trip to the desert in a Biblical-themed competition at the all-new Farnborough venue.



That meant the Linear B tactics of an improved and enhanced Mycenean army got to have a run out in five games of L'Art de la Guerre, all laced with dreadful poetry, terribly inappropriate speech-bubble captions, almost no tactics and even a smattering of your best quality American Ska-Punk in a series of reports punningly now known as Homer's The Silly-iad.



There was a young man called Achilles,
Anyone that he fought got the willies,
He had a big horse,
(It was wooden, of course!),
And a penchant for terrible ditties!
(Homer, The Silly-iad)



Read on to experience the full poetic horror of these 5 match reports!

I embarked on a fairly large Trojan War project which is still ongoing, weirdly every time I look at my army lists after reading or listening to something about it I seem to add another unit or two or decide a previous unit needs a somewhat different composition, it's very vexing...
