The large number of Greek figurines I have allows me to align different cities, which allows us to set up a campaign on the theme of the ancient Greek wars.
List II / 5a Spartans
It is an army designed specifically in DBA by my son Antoine. She has her own page on this blog: "Étranger, va dire à Sparte qu’ici Nous gisons, dociles à ses ordres."
List II / 5b Athenians
The city that I find most interesting historically. One of his interests is the possibility of changing a psilos to archers (3Bw) What I can do for now, not having 3Bw Greek.
It is an army destined to be played in big battle. I still lack six figurines of riders to be able to align them as such. When the army is over; She will have her own page on this blog. Meanwhile, it is played with a Thesalian ally, which reduces the number of riders needed.
An arrangement is however necessary because the Thessalian general (Cv) is represented by an LH (always this lack of riders) easily identifiable by its blue crest and played as Cv during the friendly parties.
The Thessalians have the particularity, for Greeks, to have many light riders.
List II / 5th Etolians
A plethora of light infantrymen (Ps) This reduces the striking force but gives the army a great flexibility which has every interest to take advantage of the cutlery and can, in any case tickle the enemy lines in a particularly painful way for the latter.
This army possesses the rare peculiarity of an artillery for a Greek army of that period. A quarter of the troops are also light infantry.
Greek colonies in the Italian peninsula. This army offers a structure comparable to that of the Thessalians, lining up an important light cavalry. It is a pity to be able to line up with Oscar allies because this would have made it possible to constitute a pretty and colorful BBDBA army.
It is noted that this army does not represent that of Syracuse which has a clean list in the rules and on this blog.
Here we have the "classic" version of the hoplitic armies. A hoplite wall, a cavalry in reserve (or an extra hoplite) and a little psiloi for difficult terrain.
Such, for example, that of Xenophon. Little variety of troops. 100% lancers. A line. A wall. Simple and often efficient, although its heavy and monolithic aspect sometimes makes this army vulnerable.
A light version of the Spartan army. The opportunity to play these terrible beards while enjoying more tactical flexibility.
List II / 5L Greek Black Sea Cities
This army enjoys the support of its Scythian neighbors.
List II / 9a Syracuse
This army is at the origin of my purchase of Greek figurines. It was built in BBDBA version and has, in the rules and in this blog, its own page.
