It's early fall. Time for some practice games for HMGS's Historicon convention.
It's Alexander the Great vs Gaul in this L'Art de la Guerre game.

enjoy

Nice! Fighting Alex is always a tall order. It would warm the pile of ashes that imposters for my heart to see Gauls be fearsome on the game board.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I suggest you try out a half strength second line to plug holes, and put a solid mounted force together. I always think of Gauls as having solid mounted.

I think you are right on both points. Javelin armed light chariots are kind of nice.

I have been doodling around on this all evening...

What do you think of a list like this?

Heroic Noble Horsemen Included Comp Gen.

Lt CH, Jav, Elite Includes Comp Gen
Lt Ch, Jav, Elite x2

Lt Ch, Jav x3

Center command Comp Gen

LI, Jav x4
Msword x9


Foot command Ord General

LI, Bow x4
Msword x9

I think that adds to 200

Do you think it would be a decent project to paint something like this up? Edited to correct list mistake.

I messed this list up, it looks like you take all chariot or all horse.....so 3 elite chariots, and 3 "normal" chariots... Or use Cav....
