Enjoyed your piece...Yes, Aaron, that would be me. <br /><br />Enjoyed your piece on Pharsalus in the recent issue. Coincidentally, that report and others inspired me to have another go at the battle. Just submitted the finished report to Mr. Innes. Fingers crossed. <br /><br />Not that you asked, but I'm "working" on Bagradas, Gaza, and a portion of Raphia now. Have put a modified Chaeronea on hold for the present, but I can definitely see an Italian city state version, or even something with an Asian angle - perhaps some Samurai or Khmer? <br /><br />Thanks for reading.<br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-44959114057932491092016-10-24T15:05:31.084+09:002016-10-24T15:05:31.084+09:00Thanks, Bill.

Lost Battles plays out more like the historical accounts read, so as a solo exercise I think it's meatier, and, yes, IMHO is more battle-like and has better narrative.<br /><br />I do enjoy C&C as well though!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AaronPrufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-87224005744401423312016-10-22T20:36:43.036+09:002016-10-22T20:36:43.036+09:00Well done sir!

Second the comments and compliments offered by your, erm . . . , legion of fans. <br /><br />I quite like Chaeronea and thought your historical modification was nicely done. Gives me pause to think about adopting the field for use with other armies. Something in the Dark Ages perhaps, or even a medieval contest? <br /><br />Appreciate your sentiments about solo gaming as well. <br /><br />Thanks for posting.<br /><br />Cheers - <br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-55108721673260965002016-10-22T18:39:05.055+09:002016-10-22T18:39:05.055+09:00Aaron, this is one outstanding BatRep!
