Sword and Spear Debute (Yes I do game, sometimes!)

My club, Plymouth Association of Wargamers (PAW) have started playing the ancient rules, Sword and Spear and I must say I bough and read these and really like the look and concept of the game. My first outing was just before Christmas and I used my Alexandrian Macedonians.

This is not a game review or AAR but a chance to show the figures off the painting table and on the field of battle.  Just so yo know I played against the historical foe, the Persians and the game was a hard fought draw.
