Pics and a game report from Pukekohe - posted by Ben Vartok, 8 August 2022

Pukekohe hosted a number of games yesterday with morning and afternoon sessions. I was at the Auckland Museum seeing the Greeks exhibition so only made the afternoon game. I arrived as Al Donald was finishing up a drawn match with Ivan's Macedonians. Al and I then set up and my Minoans took a run at the valley of death! The Spartans had deployed their entire army between and on two difficult hills. Lack of pips meant they yielded the defenders initiative however they made up for that subsequently and rushed the centre line, smashed the Pike X, picked on Ax I with Sp S and killed a Minoan Kn sub general after he himself had killed 4 Spartiates. A good win for Al's "SPARTA" (shouted in Brian Blessed style) Spartans. On the other tables Benny used John Calnan's Ottomans aganist John Calnan's Ghaznavids while Ivan used Gerard's Scots aganist Gerard's Chinese. Makes perfect sense when you know that Ivan and Benny have purchased those armies....more photos from others will follow.
