Do you have any images of the game please?

I've seen a couple online but unfortunately they were all at a distance....

I'd really love to see some close up shots of the game if possible?

I was a bit remiss got carried away with game didn't take many photos will put the better ones on soon will ask Mark think he took close ups.
Just a quick right up from memory. Plenty of interaction with the public. Two gamers from Chicago joined us and took a command each.
Quite a basic set with Demetrius on the left flank with his better cavalry pikes in centre with mercenaries on right with weaker cavalry. The reverse for Ptolemy who was facing Demetrius. The fight between was quick and brutal with Ptolemy overcoming Demetrius's command.
The clash of pikes was a typical push and shove affair with Ptolmeys general luckily surviving 2 hits. In the end Demetrius"s pike defeated ptolmeys. This along with other losses meant that Ptolmeys army was broken but a last attack of the turn meant that Demetrius"s right flank broke so with both flanks destroyed battle ended in honourable draw.
