The catalogue outlines seven use cases enabled by its digital BSS-as-a-Service Report from the future: Aotearoa New Zealand is looking good in — here's how we did it The year is and Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions consistent with the commitment to keep global heating below 1. The economy, society, local government, transport, housing and urban design, energy, land use, food production and water systems have all changed significantly.

Fossil fuels have been mostly phased out internationally and import taxes are imposed on high emissions goods. New Zealand is now a world leader in natural infrastructure, clean hydrogen energy, engineered wood and high quality low emissions food.

The second game was a nice historical match. The set-up was "meeting engagement" and resulted in Pat's Macedonians being rather strung out in unsupporting positions. Since many of my troops were of the "throw away" category, my plan was to channel his units piecemeal into my firepower, and try not to get embroiled with his phalanxes.

It turned out that this table had hills that counted as difficult terrain, so that kept the heavies kind of boxed out. As can be seen in the photo, my Persian horsemen and skirmishers engaged first.

This worked against his Companion cavalry. They eventually charged my center, routed the Mardian archers The armored horsemen wiped out the Agrianian slingers and then directed their anger at the enemy war machines. On the left flank the light cavalry skirmished, the Takabara engaged the Agrianians, but were wiped out in the process. On the right flank the Dahae cavalry got too anxious and were caught by a phalanx, which forced them to flee I lost by a few points, for the Macedonians, and for me Alexander's army!

I must say that the "Meeting engagement" set-up often leads to these skirmish results, one needs more than six turns to really get into action. I bet if we had done pitched battle then Pat's phalanxes would have crunched my infantry. After two games I was fried.

Nobody really wanted to hang for a third game, and this allowed me some 'getaway' time to drive back down to San Diego. Prizes were handed out, and I was fortunate to win the 'best painted' merits which landed me a bag of the nice Wargames Factory Numidian plastic figures.

I'm not exactly sure what I will be doing with them yet, but I should find them useful for my Caesarean Romans. As for WAB2, hardly anybody has re-based their figures for 3 deep formations. Phalanxes still like the 4 deep, which is good, because I think it looks better for the game. We scratched our heads about the "Cavalry Counter Charge" rules once we got into that Not being able to Counter Charge if the enemy is within 8" is a dumb rule I can understand why some may wish to have counter-charging cavalry move forward a few inches, but they don't even do that!

Just one inch movement is silly. I'd prefer no Counter Charge movement to these new oddball complications. Other than that, we did not have to refer to the rules much, which is always a good thing.

Once we got into it, it's just like WAB, just remembering where it is different. I took a chunk of levy skirmishers, and light troops, they performed average. I'm fond of how skirmishers have to pass Ld to charge formed troops.. The reform rules are a bit hard to get used to Not alowing levies to even reform is a mistake and nerfs the Persian list as some of their good cavalry are levies.

I did not take the "Noble Cavalry" because I did not want to have to try to figure out what they could actually do, or not Some of the other errata changes also vexed me Both these games had oddities which made it difficult to see if my lowly AtG "End of Persia" army really can stack up.

The game against the Normans developed in a strange way because of the channeling terrain, the game against the Macedonians was odd because the "Meeting Engagement", as it often does , led to a total 'stand-off' deployment.

Neither side was all that aggressive, and the difficult terrain hills hampered both of us. This scenario needs to be linked with "Take and Hold" to make it more exciting, maybe two or three point items that need to be "held", that way players will not just be content with 'parking' table quadrants and they will be forced to focus on a defined goal.

The AtG Persian Army. As I stated this army list suffers because of the application of the levy rules, but it gains a funny edge because of the skirmisher rules The leadership dice roll to stand for skirmishers is enhanced by their relatively high leadership.. Nobody tested my hoplites, but they are always hampered by no standards, and no oracles. If Pat had been more aggressive I think he would have found my infantry line to be rather easily knocked over, but as I said the difficult terrain hills and the deployment meant that it would be difficult to concentrate a decisive push.

Basically in WAB terms there is nothing really good in the Persian army, other than high save cavalry which means nothing against bolt throwers- luckily Pat's three machines mostly missed as they should at long range. The list I took was a "Satrapal General" list, I also had on my box the fixin's for a "Great King" list with my Darius figure and an elephant. In the end I decided the Satrapal list would be more competitive, but the Great King list would have been better against the opponents I faced Other than that, I liked the balance.

I had 30 cavalry models and about foot, so it had some numbers. My heavy infantry kept them honest and the Kardakes surprised folks with their resilience-- at least they are not levies!!!
