Hi everyone and welcome to another episode of Ancient Warfare Answers with me Murray, your weekly 10 minute break from reality to think about ancient warfare in all its guises.

You can, of course, and what we do here is we answer questions from listeners and viewers.

You can ask us a question. You can send

us an email of a postcard. You can comment on one of the previous videos or podcasts and that

will find its way to us. Even send us an email. And of course, you can back us on Patreon,

one of three different levels. You've got Legionary Optio and Cent and centurion, $1, $5, and $10.

Just go to Patreon forward slash ancient warfare podcast.

Now, today's question is an interesting one, which combines several of my interests.

The one that doesn't is opera, but more of that and on.

And this is from Darren.

Darren says, hello, Murray. I'm a college library director who is co-sponsoring a war game

involving a student tabletop game club and a student history club. In your opinion, what would

be the best ancient battle or battles for a group of 18 to 20 year old students?

I'd like something fairly static or possessing limited maneuver for a beginning session.

We can progress to more complicated engagements as we go along.

I enjoy the show.

Keep up for good work.

Thank you.

Thank you, Darren.

Right.

Well, I've been thinking about this because obviously, if you haven't guessed already,

combines my love of ancient history with my love of wargaming, which you can't really see behind me.
