Don't Mess With The Spartans... A Chaotic AAR

Well, this is my first attempt to write an AAR, and I decide to use my old savegame as the starting point… picking my long, abandoned KH campaign that lies in the bottom of my savegame list, about two month old… and about the house rule, I decide to modify my EDB a bit, so Koinon can recruit spartan anywhere when they can build type 1 gov (The Spartan Agoge Klerouchy in my AAR are capable to train Spartans too)… This was done for storyline purpose, so please don’t get mad because of this… It was a Chaotic AAR anyway...

Chapter 1: The Awakening
Starring : Akrotatos Agiados Lakedaimonios
“Splash!!!!”, a feel of cold, icy waters splashed on my face.“Ouch…. Glup… what the…. hey, what are you doing to your commander you idiot!” this words are my first words when I found myself awakened forcefully by my soldiers in the camp this night. “Sorry commander, please, don’t be mad, you scream very loudly like a kitten got his tail stomped with Romaioi boots this night, so after some unsucessful attempt to woke you up gently, I try to do this as my last resort…” said one of my Spartiate bodyguards. For a minute, I sit with a sour face, seeing all my bodyguards circling my bed with shocked face… but after a while, they start to smile and said: “It’s over commander, don’t worry, we are here…”

What happned before, I couldn’t imagine too much… the last battle, when I kill the last Epeirote king, Hellenos, is turn as a clear victory, but it deals a lot for me… most of my personal guards are gone because I wrongfully lead them to charge their phalanx, and even this action buys a lot of time so my mainline infantry could deliver the decisive blow, a hour after the bloody battle, I fell unconcious and my men said that I had been sleep in a week, and sometimes I scream loudly without gaining my conciousness like a really sick men. Oh, I remember now, the dream was about darkness. I fall in a pitch-black pit, and I bump a lot of thing in my falling process… when I can’t see anything. This is the real nightmare that I won’t forget all of my lifetime, and this night, my soldiers are finally got a way to quickly woke me up, and I personally thanks them when I got fully concious, about what’s happned.

Well, my name is Akrotatos, son of the Spartan King, Areus. I heard that he begins a new reform in the Spartan society, as now all the cities modelled on sparta, got the franchise license, just like KFC's to train their own Spartan warriors… Most of the elders didn’t agree with that movement, but my father stand firm, and gives many ordinary men the chance to lift lambda-insignia aspis. So now, it doesn’t weird anymore, if the Koinnon Hellenon poleis could field Spartans, giving a condition that they had the Spartan government system.

This year is 265 BC, I forgot how the Koinnon managed to take control all of the Hellas, and get rid of Epeirotes, I only remember my first battle after a long sleep.... against the last Epeirote holding, so this is the Koinnon Now...

And now, I just found a letter from my father, calling me to go into a campaign in the East, helping our Yellow Ptolemaioi Allies... and kicking Seleukid's....

What a dissapointment... this city is certainly a popular tourist destination, but how dare they leave it with only a smallest form of garrison? no matter anyway... I decide to storm this city as soon as possible... Maybe this was the real war crime... but I think the International Court of Human Rights are not founded yet for now...

and as you can see this wasn't much a problem for my army... using only my peltastai, and my personal bodyguards, I just crush these bugs....

But my stupid cousin got more bigger trouble when he just land in Antioch...

-- updated soon after finished cropping my pics...

I can't see your pics.

I put them as an attachment... and paste their link... it works fine on my laptop...

I cannot see your pictures either. You're probably going to have to upload them to some thirdparty site like ImageShack.

Eng, marcus... I use the very same method to post my pics in Family Photo Album Thread on Frontroom, and Another can see my photos... Am I missing a step or something?
