3 good and different games with a 2-1 to the Boeotians. The first game had a Boeotian left-wing attack with the hoplites and combined cavalry routing the Athenian right to secure victory, but at 6-5 banners. The 2nd game was a more desultory skirmish and attrition with the Boeotian right piling in to secure victory, again 6-5. The third game was an all-out hoplite onslaught by both sides resulting in a decimation of both sides' citizen troops. At 4-5 against the Athenians, and with hoplites now thin on the battlefield, the Athenians concentrated their skirmishers against a wounded Boeotian hoplite unit led by Pagondas and eventuall took down the hoplites with javelin fire and then Pagondas himself to secure victory 6-5 to the Athenians. A very balanced scenario.

I had a good start at the Athenians, up 2-0, until an entire Hoplite unit and Alcibiades were killed in one attack, tying the score. The next Boeotian play was a Mounted Charge, and it got ugly quick after that.

Three games, all won by the Boeotians, only one of which was close at 6-5. Difficult to see how they can lose without a serious distortion in luck with card draws and die rolls in favour of the Athenians. The key seemed to us to be the medium cavalry, which, in conjunction with the hoplites, can hack away at the Athenian right flank with a certain degree of impunity.
