Germans are nearly in but there are a lot of judeans to kill here and I'm making no progress with the rest of my army as it has been becalmed with had pips for a few turns.
15 Apr 2007
The Parthians
Are about to go I think. All 4 cats killed by wagon action. This will bring the Germans online, and allow me to go on the offensive.
My aux attack has virtually petered out on my right...
So far
Its all very bitty but the teutons are still unreliable.
I am having to mess about with wagons to try and create something as my army is rather toothless without the Germans.
My attack on the right with the aux has stalled due to poor pips.
The only opp is to pick on the Parthians with wagons and try and make a hole in the line to get the Germans online again.
.
Its started
The teutons are unreliable with a line of bd I facing them!! Doh!
But there may be a chance to push on my right over some ps I with my auxilia and flank some Bw I
So, I will attack anyway!
Sunday am
I'm lying in 6th or 7th, playing Ricky and his Later Judeans. Lots of terrain here so far. A morning of extracting auxilia I feel....
Steve is in the hot seat as far as is Brits go, sitting in 4th
1:25am
This is why we came !
2-14 !!
The auxilia in my big command rush to their death against a demoralised cavalry ordinary general ( with an overlap) 1-6, whilst I wash up 1 element short of his CinCs command, and kill the cinc - with 6 dead already so if Mike had had to roll pips again I would have won 14-2
Wild!
Phew!
Re: The warband
Collapse!!!! A couple of 6-1s and the huge command turns tail and flees! My own command is teetering on the brink facing it though and there is nothing between my baggage and 5 CmS when my command inevitably falls....
I have to hoover up the CinC before this happens.... 4 down, 4 to go, but they are hard to kill Cv and hard to catch LH!
The warband
Are running riot, aided by camels, but more by my desparate pip dice! 1 2 1 1 for the command facing these 2 commands in the last 4 turns. 32 pips in response!

Quick start
Both armies are keen to get to grips.
The Arabs have shifted their camel corps into face my Teutons, and the Cv S have wheeled to protect a flank!
Game 3
Against Mike McGee and his Christian Nubians. Almost no terrain and I'm attacking. Could be interesting if I guess right or wrong on the camel and warband scenario...?
14 Apr 2007
Finally tipped them over!
A dead general and 3 dead bowmen followed by poor pip dice means I take a command out of the blue! Then the flank also crumbles under weight of casualties.
15-0 to me!
.
Going well...
The sicilians have all 4 generals engaged, but then roll 6666!!!!
But the liths are starting to find flanks....
And the wagons are shooting well....
And the. Art S has killed 3 bows
Sicilian!
2nd game, Mark, Sicilian, defending again, and a good burger and 2 pints of bud for lunch!!!!

7-4 win (6-4 with 15-0)
2 other commands were within 1 element of breaking, but my CinC was close to going down.

Slowly pushing on. Dan is being tormented by bad pips! One of his commands is on the ropes against my right wing cav and lh command
In the thick of it now..
Cavalry engaged on my right, but blades closing in in the Bw X...

Setup complete
There are a lot of bow in this bedouin army. But ive screened off a lot of the table to mass my attack on my right, and the artillery S has surprised him as its part of the flank screening force on the left side with all the terrain. Fortunately the. Arab bw X are not teed up against my Teutons and may have to wheel across my blades to get to them. Which may be tricky!!!! Looks like he's going to try though.... Interesting.

Game 1
Dan hazlewood and dynastic bedouin. No terrain except in one corner (my side). Oh, and he's seen my list on this site! Surprise!
Different country, same experience.
25 minutes wait for the doors to open before we can get in. I've now done this in the UK, Spain, Greece, France, Italy AND The USA.....

BJ's shop owner said the man kept repeating "anybody in front of you, you can mow them down. Kill everybody, soldier, because daddy's going to buy you this chopper."

The Belgians are Coming!
11 Mar 2007
Polish Cavalry!
I only wanted sowe Italian 1/144th scale aircraft transfers, but as the ££ $$ ratio is so good it seemed a good chance to get some more 15mm PBI stuff!!
Better hurry up and paint the Belgians before the Poles arrive really. This means the 10mm Warhamster boys are on hold for a while too...
27 Feb 2007
The 10mm Greeks
Currently I'm painting some 10mm Greeks for Warhamster.
And some of the Peltasts do look rather camp - there appear to be two types, some with thigh-high boots, and some with bare legs and very short skirts!

Welcome to my wargames blog
The theory is that this one may allow me to post "live" updates from competitions and other events. How exciting!
The downside is that it may be a little thin when I'm not at a competition....
