ABOUT THE PROJECT
Greece plans to celebrate 2500 years since Xerxes led a huge force across the Hellespont having been provoked by insults to his father's reputation. Read this short article HERE for background.
Salamis is one of the great war-galley battles. Re-fighting Salamis in as many ways possible is a project which could shed light on the historical battle.
How did the generals on both sides martial such great forces in a confined space?
How did the two sides aim to defeat the other?
What factors were most crucial to the outcome?

This is a wargaming project which aims to provide an excuse and incentive for gaming a famous ancient battle.
The battle of Salamis is a great battle in terms of its significance and its scale. Hundreds of galleys fighting in a limited space gives a challenge to modelling and gaming a recreation.
This space can be used to share knowledge of modelling and gaming, ideas about how to represent the forces and the topography and conditions of the battle and other relevant information.
Galley wargamers are thin on the ground. This is a way to promote this type of gaming and make contacts.
The product of the project will be a lot of information made available to the community, a lot of battle reports of games complemented with photos and comments about the ancient event and our enjoyment of refighting it.
