Dale's Wargames

My blog about my wargaming activities. I collect a lot of 15mm miniatures for the American War of Independence and so collect a lot of rules for this period. I started miniatures with Napoleonics, so I have a number of armies in 6mm and 15mm figures for skirmishing. I have15mm WW II figures that I use for Flames of War, Memoir '44, and someday, Poor Bloody Infantry. Finally there is my on-again, off-again relationship with paper soldiers that I sometimes write about.

DBA Hoplite Campaign - Summer 480 B.C. - Thessalian Move

Thessaly sallies forth from the Shrines of Mount Olympus in an attempt to break the siege. (I need to write up the battle report, but I am out of time at the moment.) Thessaly crushes the Thracians in a surprise attack, winning 4-1. Thrace retreats its army to Potidaea.

Athens: 2 prestige, losses: 4x4Sp, 1x2LH, 1x2Ps, 1x3Ax
Sparta: 7 prestige, losses: 1x7Hd, 3x4Sp
Thessaly: 3 prestige, losses: 2x2Ps, 1x2LH
Thrace: 1 prestige, losses: 2x2Ps, 2x3Ax, 2x2LH

About Me

My photo
Huachuca City, Arizona, United States
I am 58 yrs old now. I bought a house in Huachuca City, AZ working for a software company for the last three years. To while away the hours I like to wargame -- with wooden, lead, and sometimes paper miniatures -- usually solo. Although I am a 'rules junkie', I almost always use rules of my own (I like to build upon others' ideas, but it seems like there is always something "missing" or "wrong").
