An unusual post, this.
I'm going through my Achaean Greeks (of which I have a few) to
organise some comparison games of Dragon Rampant and King of War.
I'm doing this in
reverse, as I'm geared up for OGAM, which is a far superior, simpler,
faster product than either of the new games, which are aimed at those
familiar with other mainstream games.
Here are specific
Dragon Rampant forces for Pan or Artemis, Pallas Athene, Hades and
Ares. Each has a core of “mundane” units, which are the ones who
take up the space. To these I add the “specials”. Finally I
have the unattached to allow further choice.

alliance”)
