My opponent, Eric K., was able to rally (with four helmets and a blue) and then eliminate my warriors to end the game.

I was never able to bring in my reinforcements -- drawing my first leadership card on my last turn. Tough, tense scenario.

The hills look awesome. Makes the scenario easier to envision. And dice do hate you.

Eric, I think you already said it elsewhere but I'm lazy: where did you get the (wooden?) hexes from? How many did you get? I see more than 30, though I guess this is the scenario that needs the most!

Miguel,
You may be thinking of Jim's (oneilljgf) post on BattleHexes available at rdoxx.

The hexes in the picture above are cut out of finished birch plywood using a bandsaw. I'm working on a custom wooden board that utilizes 1/4" hexes for the base, 3/8" for trees and 1/2" for the hills. Am in the sanding and finishing process now. As you can imagine, getting perfect hexes is very time-cosuming. Staining the terrain will be even more so. But I'm finding it therapeutic.

~~And with twenty hills, Gregovia is the official scenario with the most (so far).~~

Correction: Utica II, from Roman Civil Wars uses all 24. (You'd think I'd be able to read my own database.)
