Played this last night with Master chief. Started as the Seleucus side. Had a convincing win (8-5)due to good cards, dice and play. Seleucus side used elephants very effectively to inflict casualties on the Antigonus side including one combat that took out a medium infantry unit using one sword hit that just kept rerolling swords until the third reroll - it was a blue triangle. Killing the attached leader with a lucky helmet leader casualty roll picked up 2 banners for the Seleucus player. Antigonus player frustrated by a lack of cards to follow up a good initial attack on the right flank with the cavalry which allowed the Seleucus side to run rampant on their right flank and centre with the elephants. Seleucus maintained the initiative on the right and took out enough units to win.
Enjoyable game that had the Antigonus player been able to maintain the momentum on his right could ahve taken the game.
Got to play with the cards you have.
Swapped sides but to no avail for Master Chief. A closer game (8-6)but again as the Antigonus player I got the good cards and dice. Despite the Seleucus heavy cavalry and chariots getting some success on the flanks the issue was decided in the centre. Elephants were ineffective for both sides and some unlucky dice for the Seleucus player helped the Antigonus player to whittle away for long enough to reduce the Seleucus side by the required amount.
Sometimes the dice will go your way and sometimes they don't. Pleasing for one player but frustrating for the other.
