Ancient Greek Collection in 6mm

I've been really lazy with my gaming during COVID, but I finally got it together enough to finish augmenting my Ancient Greek 6mm collection, which is something I've been meaning to do for some time.

The below show about 1200 figs arrayed on some 60 stands, deployed for the Battle of Delium, 424 BC. Stands are on 40mm fronts. The entire battle is on about a 48 inch front. The reason the bases look a little different from each other is because they were done in different batches, years apart (oh, well).

Athenians are on the right, facing the Theban led Boeotians on the high ground to the left. Thebans themselves are stacked-up in eight ranks on the Boeotian right.

There are many rules to choose from, but I will probably go with Big Battle DBA, with a few important modifications.

Next step is to build appropriately scaled buildings, walls, and triremes from Roman Seas (which I've already downloaded). Then the whole Peloponnesian War is a go!

Cheers,
