India 320 BC

 Keeping focus when no gaming is actually occurring is always a challenge.  As such I have drifted back to ancients after dabbling in ACW for a minute or two and then revisiting AK47 for about half a minute.

Consequently, I have updated and uploaded the campaign rules for From the Indus to the Ganges 320 BC.  The Campaign page can be found here.

I am working again on a scratch build of two bullock carts for the Republican Indians and maybe I'll have them finished by Christmas 🤦  I'll post pictures when they are done.

During this time of Social Isolation, I have also had some time to complete a map for a campaign spanning Northern India.  It is not drawn to scale nor is it 100% historically accurate but it serves my needs.  Originally, my goal was for a map to be used primarily for the Into-Greek period but I think it will also work for the Mauryan Empire through the Kushan Empire.

One of the many projects that I will come back to from time to time is this one.  I have almost completed enough Classical Indians to field three different 300 point Classical Indian Armies.  Shortly, I will have enough Hellenistics to morph them into Indo-Greek armies.

To complement these new figures, I am working on a  campaign that is set in Northern India just after the fall of the Mauryan Empire hence the name of this post.

The campaign rules are based on Jeff Jonas' Syrian Wars campaign rules found on his website, AncientBattles.com.  Although, his rules are for Warhammer Ancient Battles, I found them relatively easy to adapt to Field of Glory.  I am working on the map at the moment.  It will feature four 8.5 x 11 sheets forming a 2x2 master map.  Once I have it further along I will post it on the blog.

I might even be prompted to write a newspaper type series of posts to demonstrate progress.

Here is a picture of the host so far awaiting flocking.
