Hutt Valley Wargaming Club, Saturday March 14 - from Michael Stonyer

Michael Stonyer was at the Wellington Warlords yesterday and sent these great pics of two games: Shay Bassett (HYW English) v Phil Gates (Italian Condotta) and Paul Graham (Palmyran) v Alastair Duncan (Pergamene). More details in the captions, where any errors are mine 😊

[Correction: Paul Graham (Pergamene) played Alastair Duncan Palmyran. My apologies for the mistake, I hope no embarrassment was caused and, on a positive note, maybe I added some 'entertainment'! 😱]

The hands say it all! Alastair Duncan (Pergamon) v Paul Graham (Palmyra). Paul Goldstone and Graham Starkey offer constructive advice.

The Paulmyrans ?

The 1970s Hinchliffe Palmyrans are coming!

No wonder you can put four cataphracts onto a 80mm base. No way you can do it with current figures

Kenneth Chan I understand that is how the basing was originally developed, last century

Vincent Cholewa well it IS called Ancients

Paul Graham

These are Seleucid Pikes and cataphracts in Pergamene service. Al Duncan was running Palmyrans against me.

Paul Graham my humble apologies for the mix up 

Alastair Duncan

"RUNNING", being the operative word!

The 21st century A&A Pergamenes are coming

Alastair Duncan

Actually these are the Palnyrans, moments before they routed!

Alastair Duncan I apologise for the mix up

Impressed by four A&A Cataphracts on a single base. Mine are only 3 to a base. Lovely figures to paint.

It's that close: Paul Goldstone, Graham Starkey and Paul Graham (Palmyran)

Oh no! Paul Goldstone, Graham Starkey and Paul Graham (Palmyran)

Paul Graham (Palmyran) ignores Paul Goldstone and Graham Starkey and gets into it

Palmyran and Pergamene cataphracts get into each other.

Kenneth Chan

Big men vs small men

Very nice

A slightly spooky view of the hall. Phil Gates (Italian Condotta) at the top of the table and Shay Bassett (HYW English) on the right.

Palmyra (Paul Graham at the top of the table) versus Pergamon (Alastair Duncan on the left). Graham Starkey (still lacking enthusiasm).

Graham needs a lie down by the look of it 

Shay deploys his HYW English

Italian Condotta, Swiss allies, almost pike and shot

HYW English v Italian Condotta - its about to get real!

The battle is joined Italian knights move up from the reserve
