Title: Poseidon's Warriors
Post by: McKInstry on January 14, 2017, 12:54:53 pm

Anyone tried this set from Osprey? I've now painted 120 1/2400 Tumbling Dice galleys and about 40 wrecks and been through 6 games with Greeks v Persia and the Peloponnesian War. The game is fast, very deadly and even on big battles plays out in 1-2 hours max.

I have the book, and it looks pretty good! I haven't been able to actually play yet though.

As of now I'll be bringing the Salamis scenario and OOB to haven on Sunday the 29th although that is a back up to what is supposed to be a SAGA game. 100+ triremes in 1/2400.

I'll swing by and have a look. I'm running/playing a game of Firefly (boardgame) at the Haven on the 29th.
