Biblical times, east vs west six-player multiplayer game - posted by Paul Graham, 24 January 2026

Ran a 3 x 240pt per side multiplayer game at the Hutt club today, set in Biblical times, the East (NK Egyptians, Medes and Vedic Indians) versus the West (Italians, Sea Peoples and Greeks). This was a highly entertaining, chaotic affair with the West taking the honours and breaking 4 of the 7 Eastern commands.

Many thanks to Allen Yaxley, Richard Fields, Graham Starkey, Michael Stonyer, Philip Gates, Richard Mason and Shay Bassett for providing armies and taking part.
