DBA II/69 Sassanid Persians

SSSSAAASSS SSSSAAAASSSS SSSAAAAAssssssssaaaaaaannniiiiiiiid Persians....!!!

Oh.. What a cool name! My favourite DBA Army, lots of Cavalry, Knights, Elephants, Horrible Hordes, nice & colourful as well. The match of mighty Rome for many a year, but in end victim to the explosion of Islam & the Arab Conquest Armies.

We've had these fellas for a long time, but recently we changed the banners. Here they are, made by our good selves as there's not a lot of 15mm Banners out there!!!

In our games the Sassanids have always performed well.
