Today saw time for a very quick game, so a PW 3x3 was set up. This time it was a Mini Trimsos that was fought. Each side needs to control both the Old and New Bridges for a complete victory.
As with the original Battle of Trimsos, this game was set in Hyboria and saw Corinthia fighting Brythunia.The two armies arrived...

Very nice MJT ⚔️⚔️
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a good Hyborian scrap - I’m a long-time fan of Robert E Howard’s fiction. My Hyborian armies are old school 25mm’s - primarily a mix of Garrison, Lamming and Minifigs. Aquilonia, Turan and Nemedia, with a generic barbarian mix for the Cimmerians.
Cheers,
Geoff
Thanks Geoff. I'd be very interested to see pics of your 25mm forces. In my teens I started collecting the Minifigs Sword and Sorcery figures, a lot of which are of course available again at ridiculously high prices c/o Caliver Books!
DeleteReminds everyone that you can have lots of fun gaming with a small playing area and number of figures.
ReplyDeleteAlan Tradgardland
Indeed you can - DBA & HoTT showed that you could have small units and still play tactical, fun games and the PW 3x3 variant demonstrates that a small playing area is viable too!
DeleteA great advantage for the busy and impecunious!
A nice, quick game. I'm always glad to see people playing and enjoying 3x3 games.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark, for the kind words and for the variant of PW!
DeleteLooks like a fun game, MJT 👍🏼…and a sudden resurgence of Corinthia at the end or a surprise finish. Love those 10mm 🙂👍🏼.
ReplyDeleteThanks Martin - Corinthia's glorious fight back was a bit surprising but that's the dice at work.
DeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little battle!
This is one of the scenarios that I am ‘revisiting’ in the next PWC … but on an 8 x 8 square and 8 x 9 hex grid.
All the best,
Bob
Thanks Bob - I'm looking forward to PWC3.
DeleteGreat stuff, I love the simplicity of it. Wargaming minimalism?
ReplyDeleteThanks David. Originally it was a sort of forced minimalism but I've grown to like it! I have enough imagination to fill in the gaps anyway.
DeleteGreat Game thanks for sharing. Quinn
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteI always love the look of your games. And a fun battle to boot!
ReplyDeleteCheers John! It was a fun little game indeed.
DeleteA real classic! The best wargaming lesson you ever gave :)
