Magnesia Second Play Test

My friend Mike and I had our second play test of our upcoming Magnesia game today. Helping us were our friends Don and Randy. With only four players pushing enough lead for eight commands things went more slowly than we expect them to go at the actual game, but we got some really good testing in. Don and Mike duked it out on one flank while Randy and I dueled on the other flank. On my flank Randy was able to destroy two of my skirmish units while I was able to turn one of his pike blocks with some lucky rolls with one of my legions. Mike's light cavalry gave Don's elephants some troubles but Don was able to rally the tantors before they left the field. Elsewhere on their flank Don and Mike crashed together with their heavy infantry and elephants with no clear winner declared within the time limit.

Mike and I are looking forward to hosting the game at next month's club game night. We both are very encouraged by the play test and think it will be a fun game. Below are 3 photos that form somewhat of a panoramic view of the in progress battle towards the end.
