WMA

Based off of the popular Warmaster Fantasy rules, this version adds most armies from the Classical, Dark Ages, and Medieval periods. Each unit consists of three stands with a simple, but every effective command and control system that creates a unique level of chaos. Each army is led by a general and several leaders, plus a set number of units that must be in the army, leaving the remaining points up to the players to choose their forces. We use 10mm figures by Old Glory, Magistar Militum, Minifigs, Pendraken, and Kallistra. We find that WMA and WMM are fast playing, a lot of fun, and is certainly suitable for large groups where we occasionally use up to 2500 points per side. We currently have around a dozen armies and are looking to paint more as well as working on doing a campaign at some point.

WMA: New Seleucid Army Wins

 

Seleucids Go WIth An Infantry Heavy Army

After numerous battles with the Romans where the Seleucid success was 50/50 and trying to keep track of all the bizarre units and stats that usually make up a Seleucid army, it was time for a change. Going with only four cavalry units, the Seleucid army this time featured a lot of pike units, Imitation Romans, thorakites, Galatians, artilley, archers, and light infantry. Things didn't start out well, with two brigades of Roman legions getting successive orders and crashing into the flanks of the Seleucid pike as well as destroying the artillery! In fact, for a turn or two it looked as if it would be an early night! The Seleucids, however, rallied, then proceeded to grind down the Romans unit by unit. There were many desperate charges, some miarculous saving rolls by both sides, and a ton of carnage. After about 6 turns both armies had suffered big losses and the Romans pressed for one more counterattack to change their fortunes. However, this came up just short, which left the Seleucids in charge of the field when the Roman army hit its break point. So far, this is a pretty good Seleucid list and now the next test is to go up against the Indian hordes on a future gaming night.
