I've been playing a bit of ADLG online during lockdown, using the online Tabletop Simulator system to provide the figures and board.

This I suddenly realised also would allow me to record the whole game, so having done that, here is a fairly short (ten minute) video of a recent Alexander vs Persians game played against a chap in Spain, with the gameplay speeded up considerably and with my own inane commentary dubbed in over the top explaing what I thought/hoped I was doing at the time!

The recording ran out a turn or so before the end (annoyingly) but the die was very much cast by that point with everyone locked in combat, so the main part of the game is still OK (I hope)

Very nice! Thank you for the extra effort.

Nice work! Thank you.

Have you considered using Universal Battle?

Not as pretty, but less work and more precise. Will need a subscription to change the base sizes though.

I'm discovering that there are a number of different systems that enable online "tabletop" play - and that's another one to add to the list! TBH though, the ADLG community seems to had adopted TTS, andhere are a handful of helpful folks making armies and creating 3D rendered figures for it so its likely to be the one that I stick with, as I'm just a player - not clever enough to make the stuff myself!
