Art de la Guerre -- Byzantines vs Sassanids

Nick (Byzantines) vs Sassanids (Carl).

Carl creamed me, killing 2 of my 3 generals, and paralyzing my army.  I tried to outmaneuver, stuffed it, and was comprehensibly defeated!!!

The Byzantine flank march came on in the first turn, giving away its position.

hmmm -- people were taking games too seriously!

Villages of Something was fun

I thought I had a winning strategy, but screwed up to come second.

We were going to play this, but Martin couldn't sell the game.

Last game was a Japanese Geisha game.  But I forgot to take pictures.
