Battle of Trimsos

I decided to put on a pet project of recreating the inspirational battle of
Trimsos, the one depicted in Wargaming which uses the Tony Bath derived Rules.
This I now played using the AMW Classical rules.

My Hyrkanians were based on a Persian Army, my Hyperboreans looked distinctly
Greek.

Both were deployed as per the photographs in the book and I used my reversed
borard and desert terrain to give the game an arid look and feel.

The game was great. I initially plumped to play the Hyperborean commander but as
things developed and the lines started to clash I decided to become a more
neutral party. The Hyperboreans fought some great set piece actions but didn't
seem to have the overall strategy right. In contrast the Hyrkanian general
exerted a steady superiority on his right flank and centre with the elephants
crushing the Hyperborean centre. The Hyperboreans sent two units to take the New
Bridge and this proved a wasteful use of the mobile elements in their force. The
Hyrkanian general had two static infantry units which helped to keep their
opponents out of the main battle where they would have proved very useful
countering the Hrykanian mounted threat.

As the game progressed the Hyperboreans were gradually reduced and encircled,
the chariots arriving too late to help their comrades now reduced to one
remaining unit.

The Hyrkanians had five units left and just like the Wargames battle shared the
same result of a convincing victory.

Great game and scenario - certainly got my Old School fix from this game.
