Battle of Thermopylae 480 BC (Wargods of Olympus) Assyrian-Greco Wars

The Battle of Thermopylae during the Assyrian-Greco War
The Assyrian Empire invades Greece for the second time at a narrow pass called "The Hot Gates" at Thermopylae in the Phocis Region in the central part of Greece in 480 BC. A Greek Allied army marched north to block the pass. King Leonidas of the Spartans decided to defend the "Middle Gate" the narrowest part of the pass, where the Phocians had built a small defensive wall sometime in the past. The allied Greek army found out that they were being flanked and most of the army retreated, while the Spartans and a small force of Phocians remained at the pass to slow the Assyrian advance into Greece.

(This game is played in the Wargods of Olympus world, using the Assyrian Empire instead of the Persian Empire. )

Battle Of Brionne 2523 IC (WHFB)

The Battle Of Brionne 2523

The year is 2523. A very large Black Orc army driven by Grimgor Ironhide has invaded Bretonnia in the south. The invasion route came out of the Irranna Mountains into the Carcassonne region. The Orc army after coming out a pass in the Irranna Mountains split into two hordes turning east towards Castle Carcassonne to lay siege, to cut off aid from the east. The other Horde marched west through Carcassonne towards Brionne following the south bank of the Brienne River. All of Northern Bretonnia came to the call of Brionne and met the massive Orc army just to the south of Brionne. Unknown to the Duke of Brionne an undead legion of ancient warriors, raised from the dead by Nagash, are marching out of northern lands of Estalia after landing off the coast of the Golfe Du Bidouze in a large black fleet of warships.
