Mortem et Gloriam - Alexandrian Macedonians vs. Late Achaemenid Persians (3/4/2018)

I should have titled this, "Bigger is Better".

Now that's a great hand - if I had a tribal army!

In my third game of Mortem et Gloriam (MeG), I went with the same Late Achaemenid Persian list I ran two weeks earlier, leaving all my mercenary hoplite and crescent shield infantry at six bases per TuG instead of removing one unit and upgrading the rest of the units to eight bases. I actually played around with the army builder available on The Wargames Zone web site but decided against changing the army composition.

Pretty much the same set up from the previous engagement


Grant went with the Alexandrian Macedonians, having misplaced the Classical Indians from the previous meeting when he went to load the car. This is a pike heavy army with a killer cavalry unit (the Companions).
