|
The much-trailed Assyrian army has finally made it not only onto the table, but onto a plane, and into a 5-round competition in sunny (and rainy) Greece at the 2019 Patras Challenge.
The Winged Lion of Assyria takes on three very different Roman armies, a Classical Indian and finally the Han Chinese in a series of battles fitted carefully in between bouts of extreme eating and drinking across a swathe of the Patrene nightlife's top venues.
Watch as the the newly minted chariots and infantry, supported by archer cavalry do their very best on a number of different playing surfaces to dodge between the cakes, biscuits and pieces of lamb which attempt to prove more problematic than their enemies
Even goats occasionally get a look in. And not just in their cooked variety!
Its all there in glorious sunshine, so roll up your Gyros, sizzle up some Spanakopita and chuck a halloumi slice on the bbq to enjoy these 5 consecutive reports ! _________________ www.madaxeman.com |

Excellent as always. I was particularly amused by:
Citation: | Outside, as the game continued, goats were attempting to fornicate in a conveniently placed olive tree. This also happens at the Halifax round of the Northern Doubles or so I'm told - however in Halifax allegedly some of the more senior players have been known to attempt to join in. |
Whilst we are alway happy to welcome new players in the Northern League (next round in Halifax on Sunday 28th July) I would like to advise potential entrants that these activities are not part of the competition and anyone entering with a view to participating in them will be very disappointed. |
