Last week I re-ran the Crocus Plains scenario with C&C and my 25mm toys. John took the role of Phillip II of Macedonia while Steve T was the Greek not bearing gifts. The Macedonian cavalry got stuck in quite early and tore into the Greek left. Above we see some Greek skirmishers suffering 75% casualties. Theirs chums (below) were soon in a similar position leaving Steve rather despondent.

The Macedonian main battle line - Phil II can be seen capering around behind the phalanx. |
 |
Phil's days were numbered though - here John points in true wargamerly fashion to the spot where he perished. By this time honours were pretty even - the Greek hoplite units having ripped into the Macedonian centre. |

The momentum of the Greek assault carried it through the Macedonian line to the point where Steve only needed to inflict a single casualty to win the game in his next turn.... |
 |
However, John managed to get rid of a Greek unit in his turn thus securing the narrowest of victories. And losing his King. I wonder if Phillip's son will turn out to be any good.... |
