The Loose Association of Wargamers

My first Face-to-Face game today here in GHQ with a blooding for my new Punic Wars armies painted during the first Lockdown last year. In our rules Elephants get 8 hits in combat, so you definitely don't want seven 1's and a 2 do you...?

I did warn you not to borrow my dice (actually, even by my standards, seven 1s an one 2 out of eight dice is mind-numbingly cruel).

Great to see this lovely collection in action on the table.

Beautiful figures. Well done, you.

As for elephants, they nearly never work out the way you hope.

I'm starting to lean towards the idea of having "elephant units in being" - that is, try to keep them out of combat & use them as a blocking force or an anti-cavalry (the smell, doncha know) force.

Camels will do the same job, and cost a lot less in water. And buns.

And they're easier to hide....especially if you use camelflage.

poor morale though - they easily get the hump

and they're always making a dromedary out of a crisis

Oh Dear, 3rd Form humour strikes again

If you will roll Latin dice vs Romans, what can you expect?
