Thinking, playing Latrunculi & Petteia like the ancients

[Anonymous]

After you have tried some practice games we can set up an email game. The games are fairly quick, initial manouvering and setting up a phalanx is what eats up the turns. The clash of the phalanx, the grinding down of the opposition and eventual route occurs rapidly. The game terminates when one side has less than 4 hoplites because it becomes a mopping up excercise then, rather than phalangial warfare.<br>
<br>
A game could also be set up on this website by use of two messages that are continually editted.<br>

When my turn is complete I would use the code word A.<br>
<br>
You would edit my move into your message and complete your turn and use the code word B.<br>
<br>
I would edit my message with your ..... code word C etc.<br>
