Lion Gate Assault - Mycenae Attacked!

Test set up for a game at a game day in December. Will be using One-Hour Ancient & Medieval Skirmish Wargames rules. I just finished the Acheson Creations building to complete the terrain. Most of the figures are from David Sullivan's (I Live With Cats) collection. Scenario will be the guards at the gate have been overpowered/killed, and the invader/attackers will be able to bring on their units at the entrace. Defenders will start out from the building on the left, inside of the gate. One defending unit will be staged at the megaron on the highground - defending the king and his queen and priestess. As mentioned in the earlier post, the grave circle will be a minor victory if descecrated by the invaders.







Wanted to see how the table would look like before departing to visit my mom in Hawaii this weekend. Next week is her 94th birtday.  I'll only have a week or so for the game day when I get back - so, happy that everything is ready. I even printed out the QRS's for the players. Hope to post something while I'm in Hawaii, and until then, thanks again for checking out the blog, and wishing you all the best.
