Titel: Lambs to the Slaughter? The Assyrians go to Patras! (Madaxeman)
Beitrag von: das madaxeman am 05. Mai 2019 - 19:23:49
My Assyrian army has finally made it not only onto the table, but onto a plane, and into a 5-round competition in sunny (and rainy) Greece at the 2019 Patras Challenge (https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Patras_2019_1.php).

The Winged Lion of Assyria takes on three very different Roman armies, a Classical Indian and finally the Han Chinese in a series of battles (https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Patras_2019_1.php) fitted carefully in between bouts of extreme eating and drinking across a swathe of the Patrene nightlife's top venues.

Watch as the the newly minted chariots and infantry, supported by archer cavalry do their very best on a number of different playing surfaces to dodge between the cakes, biscuits and pieces of lamb which attempt to prove more problematic than their enemies

Even goats occasionally get a look in. And not just in their cooked variety!

Its all there in glorious sunshine, so roll up your Gyros, sizzle up some Spanakopita and chuck a halloumi slice on the bbq to enjoy these 5 consecutive reports (https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Patras_2019_1.php) !

Hi Madaxemen,
nice that you found the way to our little forum  :)
I enjoy your AdlG-AAR very much, but I´m missing the old Fog:R and Malifaux-Stuff  :'(

There have been a couple of FoGR reports lately:
- The Early 80YW Dutch https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Oxford_2019_1.php
- TYW German https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/Oxford_2018_1.php
..and there will be at least 2 more this year, maybe 3!

Malifaux will also start again once M3e is published. I have just started playing the new version, and it seems very good so far (from one game!)
