Russ is back from his honeymoon so there's finally a game on this Thursday. We're going Rome vs Carthage again as my Greeks and his Persians aren't quite ready.
But we get to play at the new venue (with beer and peanuts on tap!) and Nigel is also turning up. He's bringing a chest so we can store the scenery etc. safely on site.
Nigel is mainly a Naps player but he's willing to give ancients / medieval a try. We may just give him the Romans to play with and see if the string of Roman victories really are down to superior troops or (as I suspect) down to excellent generalship on my part. He is also a massive history buff, always full of interesting anecdotes and impressions from history, so it should be a good evening.
As we're driving we'll be limited to 1 pint each though (curses!).
Still - its been a long, long time between games so it will be good to get back into the saddle and walloping those pesky North Africans again.
