As young Jim observed, my solo battles are becoming much larger and this one was my largest (and longest) to date.

All of my Romans took on my Persian king and four of his satraps.

Highlight report attached. More detailed reports available via my website.

PS. No buildings in this battle.

That was some battle, I thought I was going to have to have an extra cup of coffee  8)
Looked an interesting game

More like a mini campaign than one battle, with fighting along such a wide frontage.

Mega sized table and forces. Don't know how you keep track of it all, David / dwkay57. 

I assume it's a dedicated games space so you can leave it all in situ and play it out in several chunks of time?

VERY IMPRESSIVE

Yes Carl, the Principia is my dedicated wargaming space. It alternates between battle and painting configurations.

The battle did take a long while to play out (troops were deployed on 4 Jan and final moves on 19 Feb) but play was not continuous by any means and generally in chunks of a couple of hours here and there (difficult to play when one is visiting relatives for a week!)

My rules are spreadsheet based to carry out all the complex and detail heavy crunching aspects I have devised. This includes tracking morale and casualties. So it is fairly easy to stop and start a battle without too much head scratching.
