VERY QUICK UPDATE

VERY QUICK UPDATE

Well the battle of Aradus went to the Seleucid Greeks, the Ptolemies withdrew to Egypt. The Seleucids followed and fought a second battle (another win). Just as it seemed the Seleucids would take Egypt two things happened, a revolt by jewish troops meant a short fight (another Seleucid win). Then Indian forces had started to expand west into the east of the Seleucid Empire. Antiochus sent his son, Seleucus with a small holding force (Most of the phalanx, heavy cavalry, eastern satrap units) to Persis to meet and get the force ready. Antiochus would follow once he had organised Palestine.

Meanwhile I am painting a neo Babylonian army with lots of Hat Industrie and Newline figures-I wish Caesar would release box 048 I think it was

Any photos to follow
