Gamer at the End of Time

  Over the past few months I have been working through a new army and have now reached the end - as much as any army ever really gets finished. This one is a New Kingdom Egyptian of Ramesses III, the second pharaoh of the 20th Dynasty and the last great ruler of the New Kingdom period. Read on to see what I have produced ...

  So on to game 3 in this Carthaginian mini-odyssey. This will match me against Camillan Romans in an almost, but not quite, historical match-up. A sort of Punic Wars preview 😄 So did the Carthaginians do better than they did in the Pubic Wars, or did the preview set the tone? Read on ...

  In a return to a historical topic for this podcast after a couple of competition based ones, the team cast their collective eyes over the Romans in western Europe from the time of Augustus to the Batavian revolt.

  The MeG Podcast turns its beady eye on the competition played out at Warfare 2021 over the last weekend in November. The theme of the competition was "Biblical" armies so a chance to dust down and use those chariots. The team, plus guests, tell us how they did, and as ever we have all the lists used in the competition for your perusal. So read on to hear what happened ...

  Following the crushing of the Egyptians I am sitting well up the table, if a bit off the pace. In the third game I find myself facing Hammy's Early Libyan horde who have won both of their games so far. Can I beat "the blob" army ...

  Having gotten the better of a Minoan army in the fist game I found myself drawn against that most high profile of the enemies of the Hittites, New Kingdom Egyptian. Will this be a second Battle of Kadesh, read on ...

  The MeG competition at Warfare is traditionally a "biblical" period competition. I took my recently completed Hittite Empire army. To find out if I acquitted myself well or suffered a bronze age collapse, read on ...

  After a run of some success, I am brought back to earth at the Classical themed Derventio IV held at the very hospitable Boards & Swords venue in Derby. Read on for a short overview of what opponents I fought and how the games went ...

Welcome to the latest Mortem et Gloriam Players Podcast. In this episode Ray, Richard and Nik look at “The Bronze Age Catastrophe” in the early 12th century BCE which saw the Sea Peoples invasions and the collapse of a number of long standing civilisations.

  Way back in the mists of time circa. WRG 6th Edition, I bought an Essex Miniatures Chinese army pack which eventually became a Han Chinese army. Those figures are long gone but with the advent of Mortem et Gloriam (MeG) I have once again painted up a Han Chinese army. To find out more about it read on ...

  "Needing" an army for the Classical/Hellenistic period, a period I am not that interested in, I almost accidentally ended up building an Early Carthaginian army which turned out more effective that I thought it would be. Here is a bit of an account of how it came to pass ...
