Great "Ancients" Blog

Recently I managed to get my hands on a copy of "Lost Battles" the boardgame. While it was being held hostage under the Xmas tree I had joined http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lostbattles/
This is a terrific group which is approaching 4000 posts!
I started reading from post #1 and have (so far) made it to #2522. The quality of the discussions is excellent although a lot of it is above my understanding, especially the Greek and Latin translations!
But during my browsing I discovered links to several blogs. I will link to some later.
Foremost among these was http://prufrockian-gleanings.blogspot.com/ by a chap named Aaron (Prufrock).
This blog is packed with Ancients articles and many many battle reports. Lots of rulesets are covered including "Lost Battles" and "C&C". Enough reading to keep anyone busy through the long winter nights.  There are lots of fantastic pics of Aarons 15mm(I think) ancient armies.
As Lost Battles is going to take up a lot of my gaming time for the forseeable future I hope to have some blog entries of interest to Prufrock very soon.
So Thanks Aaron for your inspirational efforts and just for you here is a couple of  pics of some 10mm ancients.

It's getting crowded around here.

A big welcome to Declan.
Declan introduced me to this:-

Still not sure if I should Thank him or sue him.
It is a great game but requires a lot of concentration. Played three times and always ended up with a headache.

Declan loves his sports and especially football, so just for you...

OK its the wrong kind of football, hope this makes up for it...

A big welcome to the first blog follower,  Dave.
Dave is one of my gaming buddies and is planning to get over for some C&C Epic soon.

I know you are into trees, Dave, so here is some plant porn just for you.

If you look close the trunk has been carved to depict various animals.
