[Rosedelio]

Div A

Rosedelio (Sumerian) defeats tyronec (Babylonian) 63-35

The Sumerian spears were able to hold out against all the Babylonain chariots until the Sumerian massed archers softened the line enough to close in.

[SawyerK]

Division B

SawyerK leading the Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC army and Egyptian 1149 BC ally

defeated

rockmanbob123 and his Philistine 800-600 BC army with Kushite ally

by 62 to 50.

The Syro-Canaanites used a patch of rough ground on their right flank to embed their swordsmen and archers, and had success from there against the Philistine medium foot. But the Philistine heavy chariots and Foot Guard troops proved almost unbeatable. The battle saw-sawed back and forth until the Canaanite light chariots took their toll on the remaining Philistine medium foot. I was glad to arrive at 60 and see the last of those heavy chariots.

Div A

ianiow (Philistines) defeated lydianed (Sea Peoples) 56 vs 30

The Sea Peoples initial warband charges were less scary than their reputation suggested, so Philistine armour and morale prevailed on the day. gg

[markleslie]

Division A

markleslie Syro-Canaanite 1207-1100 BC with Egyptian 1149-1069 BC defeats ianiow Philistine 800-600 BC with Egyptian 945-720 BC 43-10.

Turn 4
The long march and counter march dance is well underway.


Turn 11
The antagonists settle into a line of contest and a long melee ensues.


Almost surprisingly, the Syrian chariots did the bulk of the work inflicting much misfortune and woe on the numberless horde.
Salute!

[Stones1985]

Division A

Stones1985 (Libyans with Sea People allies) beat lydianed (Sea People with Libyan allies) by a score of 50 to 25.

A Libyan/Sea people civil war which largely centred around a lot of pushing and shoving on a very large rough hill.

Thanks for the game.

[tyronec]

Div A
tyronec (Babylonian) defeats Random (Egyptian) 45-11
Thanks for the game.

[Stones1985]

Division A

Stones1985 (Libyan/Sea People) beat tyronec (Babylonian) by a score of 63 to 50.

Fair to say that the terrain favoured the Libyans/Sea People. It comprised a lot of woods and rough ground with the occasional marsh all of which hampered the Babylonian chariots.

Thanks for the game.

[lydianed]

Division A

lydianed (Sea Peoples + Libyans) defeats IMC (Uratians) 44-15

With the Sea Peoples proudly bringing their 7 losses from 7 games into this one, I warned IMC that he would need atrociously bad luck not to emerge the victor. So it proved to be. Terrain was against the Uratians after the clueless Sea Peoples climbed a hill and actually used to it to some tactical advantage. Unfortunately for IMC, this was the first battle in which the Sea People's remembered to bring weapons to fight with instead of pillows. To the surprise of everyone, the Sea Peoples carried off the victory.

Thanks to all my opponents in the Biblical Class this season. I've been outplayed by all of you and I will never, ever pick the Sea Peoples again.

Best, lydianed
