<t> I got GoT last spring, and played the Thermopolae scenario a couple of times without really learning the game first (I'm a huge "Gates of Fire" fan, so I wanted to jump right in-- that's why I bought GoT). Needless to say, I got crushed, and then I got busy with other things, and didn't play GoT ...

I'd love to see a TS game based on the wars of ancient China. Just my $.02...

<t> Charging is not always as good as the regular melee attack. <br/>
<br/>
Cavalry charging into a foot unit armed with spears is a bad thing: -4 Roll modifier! There is not really a "penalty" in the subsequent phases of the charge attack; the attack simply reverts to a regular melee attack ...

<t> For everyone who's been playing TS:JC for a bit, any "second impressions"?<br/>
<br/>
The one thing I would like to see (and it should be easy to add in future TS releases) is a campaign summary. We should be able to see where we've been in the campaign, whether we acheived major or minor ...

That is the strength of the big 6 stand legions... as time wears on you can find your legions diminshing in strength but the barbarians keep coming. When you get to the civil war you will be fighting other Roman legions and tactics ...

Therefore, a routing unit, under extremely bizzarre circumstances could lead to a victory. But, this is quite unlikely.

Maybe not so unlikely. If a unit routed and moved next to a target flag, you could play a ...

<t> I'm not convinced that the mechanics of the TS series are all that well suited for PBEM. Don't get me wrong, I like PBEM a lot, when it fits in nicely of the game's structure.<br/>
<br/>
For those of you who want PBEM, how exactly would that work? Something like this?<br/>

Player 1 ...

<t> 3 turns into my first battle (the upstart Belgic tribes revolt at Nervii), and I'm getting my Glutius Maximus handed to me in grand style.<br/>
<br/>
But it sure is fun! Really digging the 6-stand infantry units, the campaign order of battle screen, the grid that toggles onto the game surface ...

<t> Played TS:ATG for the first time last night-- what a great game!<br/>
<br/>
It took me a few turns to catch on to the phased system of movement & combat, but I still managed to win Thebes-- barely. Played it again, and with better planning, scored a major victory (woo-hoo!).<br/>
<br/>
