I bought the pike about three years ago, when I came back to the hobby from MM, really need more as the ones I have unpainted are an unknown make to me. HC allows for some big armies so both the Persian and Macedonian's could see a growth spurt at some point.<br /><br />I think it's well worth getting HC off the bookcase and into a game. You can get away with using units based for other systems so it's just getting your head round the rules. These are mostly simple and half the rules is fluff to pad them out. Not a criticism so much as pointing out they do not take as much reading as they make out<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-683311450734738712015-04-07T09:40:32.744+01:002015-04-07T09:40:32.744+01:00HC give some unit types special features, you have...HC give some unit types special features, you have to use these features to get the best out of them. Pike have an advantage over Hoplites but the dice can take that away. Hoplites can win if they have the right support as well<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-72369833859043728882015-04-07T09:38:41.718+01:002015-04-07T09:38:41.718+01:00I can field the one more at the moment and look to...I can field the one more at the moment and look to have a few more painted up in the future<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-30665882956527475712015-04-07T09:37:54.140+01:002015-04-07T09:37:54.140+01:00I have two games in two days both of which I am lo...I have two games in two days both of which I am looking forward to<br /><br />IanIanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17113835961977211021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3329903841574816313.post-73184445093050606592015-04-07T09:31:07.799+01:002015-04-07T09:31:07.799+01:00Nice!
