Title: Alexander in 28mm, down in the West Country
Post by: madaxeman on February 28, 2024, 10:07:16 AM
In these four all-new YouTube battle reports a brand spanking new Alexandrian Macedonian army in glorious 28mm takes to the field for the very first time, following possibly the most extensive period of pre-game trailing of their assembly and paint schemes ever seen even on this relentlessly self-promoting and self-referential website.

Alexander and his band of merry Victrix men take on an array of opponents from across the world, with the Warring States Chinese, Syracusans, Lysimachids and finally Ptolemy all squaring off against the tarmac-laying Irish navvy and his crew in these 4 widescreen battle-reporting videos.

All of the videos can be viewed on a single page, or can be watched in fullscreen glory in HD on YouTube, allowing you to admire the front of figures that other people have painted far better than I have painted the backs of mine !
And, lets face it, where else will you get to see a video of Archimedes Death Lazers in action, interspersed with animated Cornish pasties, and all arrayed on a 28mm wargames table this week?

Strewth!  I was going to post a bit of self promotion about Pyrrhus engaging Romans (https://d6onod6.blogspot.com/2024/02/pyrrhus-and-phalanx-question.html), but how can I compete with death lasers and Cornish pasties?

Wait for a cloudy day, then rush the solar powered death rays and pelt the crews to death with stale pasties? Just a suggestion.

Does DBM have weather rules and what do you have to roll to hit with stale pasties (or a death laser for that matter)?

Who lets a pasty go stale on campaign?!

DBM does.  Not sure if ADLG does.

No, it does not.
