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....

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.

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.

you bought from an Essex used chariot dealer? Made in Dagenham were they, driven by an ancient seeress only for her services
