Battle of Solachon 586 CE, Claymore Wargames show 2008

My old steam powered laptop has been revealing more of the secret stash of pictures today.

Battle of Solachon 586 CE was a display game put on by Myself, Brian Phillips, Jack Glanville and JP in 2008 at Clamore Wargames Show. I was given the task of being commander to my own Justinian Byzantines and Jack's Late Romans (which doubled up nicely as Byzantines), Brian his lovely Sassanids and JP with his Sassanids which were originally painted up beautifully by Phil Olley.

We won something.... There's a trophy so I tempted to say it was for Best Display Game though I might be a little out on that!
