The Plataea Half-Dozen

In the lead photo above, Scott uses his highly refined psyops skills against a weaker opponent (me!) to instill indecision at which card to play next.  

At Scott's invitation, I made the 40-minute drive to Coeur d'Alene for a midmorning start to a half-dozen games of Platea using Scott's beautifully painted Greek and Persian armies and Commands & Colors Ancients.  

We managed to play six games in two, one-and-a-half hour sessions with a long break for lunch at a local Thai restaurant.  All six games were fast and furious.  Of course, throughout, much discussion centered upon the current state of the world and our reasoned assessments.

The Greeks won all six battles with Scott and I winning three games apiece.

With five banners needed to win, the games and scores broke down as,

1. 5-3 to Scott
2. 5-3 to Jon
3. 5-3 to Jon
4. 5-1 to Scott
5. 5-2 to Jon
6. 5-3 to Scott

In the overall banner count summed across all six games, Scott edged me by one point.  Very close!

Fun day out for me with good gaming, good food, and good company.
