One Hour Wargames

Hi!
Today I played a game of One Hour Wargames - practical tabletop battles for those with limited time and space by Neil Thomas.
I got out the 6mm Hittites and Egyptians for two lively encounters using 6 bases of each. They seem to end with last man standing but that may just be the tactics I used.
I will post the battles after I have played a couple more games, perhaps using the Assyrians,Romans, Sassanid's or Indians.
These are rules pared down to the minimum so it is easy to learn and quite fast paced because of it. I like the idea but would like to add the push back or rout in the Ancient rules but won't do that yet as I want to play more games to see if things go along as the first games.
I will play a couple of Pike and Shot games with the Poles and Turks to see if they are equally fast paced and bloody!
Thanks to all for viewing.
