Another Hail Caesar Bronze Age game - this time, Hittites are trying to repel a Mycenaean invasion.
However, the "unknown" is a force of Sea Peoples, just landed & fighting on which side?
The dice will tell....

Re: Peoples of the Sea
Bet they had fun getting that bullock-drawn chariot off the boat - would probably give the Pamplona Bull Run a go for its money.

Smoke & mirrors my good Baron.
Game over in a handy 2.5 hours. The Hittites got walloped. Interesting thing - the Sea Peoples did not get the '10' needed to activate & stayed motionless yet menacing. My two colleagues deployed & played with a possible hostile activation in mind so they certainly had an effect.

Re: Peoples of the Sea
Nice, the 'Sea Peoples' are fascinating. Especially as yo can add a boat of Mycenaens/minoans/trojans to them to break them up a little.

The last photo features 2 Hittite chariots sold to me by Essex Boy. That old, well-known second hand chariot dealer.
I slapped some paint over the dents & rust, forged a MoT certificate & was good to go.
The Mycenaeans, who actually needed a few more chariots, only won because Iain was all out.

Nicely done figures, mate.
If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?
Re: Peoples of the Sea
How the feck did you get those painted so quickly?

Re: Peoples of the Sea
you bought from an Essex used chariot dealer? Made in Dagenham were they, driven by an ancient seeress only for her servicesochoin wrote: ↑Sun Oct 22, 2023 12:47 pm The last photo features 2 Hittite chariots sold to me by Essex Boy. That old, well-known second hand chariot dealer.
