The final result of the PBS phase, Dense terrain with a deep water secure flank The battlefield, complete with 2 swamps, a gulley and a deep water secure flank. Troops lined up for battle. Egyptian on the left, Nubian on the right. Wounds and casualties caused on each army so far. Very weakened units about to break on both sides. The Nubian dead pile.

 Here goes my first attempt at creating a wargaming blog. Firstly, my name is Tommy, but I do not object to being called Thomas. I have been a wargamer since April Fool's Day 2010 and I have played many wargames, namely DBMM, ADLG, Saga, To the Strongest, Mortem et Gloriam (MeG) and Field of Glory. I really only started playing wargames that use cards, like MeG and To the Strongest, somewhat regularly last year and I find both of these rulesets very interesting as in my opinion, cards have a slightly better, if you like, sense of humour than dice. I aim to do a battle report on this blog at least once a week. I look forward to getting some experience with regard to writing battle reports.
