Hittite campaign kicks off
Posted: Sat Feb 22, 2025 9:06 am
Hi
Rob, Michael and I started our Hittite campaign today. So I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of the action so far. We all started the campaign 2x 96 point armies (3 commands in each).
Urartiians (Michael)
Turn 1 saw his armies move from Milid to Malataya & Carchemesh. However, rolling double 2s for his 2nd army's initiative triggered a rebellion (event). Carchemesh declared for the Hittites and a strength 2 garrison appeared in the city.
Turn 2. saw his 1st army move to Kanesh while his 2nd army took Carchemesh by storm & installed a new strength 3 Urartian garrison.
Finishing up on 5 Prestige points so far (victory points)
Assyrians (Rob)
Turn 1 was his armies move to Emar & Harran
Turn 2 He installed strength 3 garrisons in both cities. Rolling double 5's (event) for initiative Rob's 1st army received an extra 5 points in reinforcements boosting its strength to 101 points.
Finishing on 6 Prestige points
Hittites (Me)
Turn 1 my armies made for Sincirli & Aleppo.
Turn 2 My 1st army moved to Emar and took on Rob's 1st army. My 2nd army attacked Michael's 1st army at Kanesh.
Finishing on 16 Prestige points
Game 1. I fought Michael's army 1st. Using his Horse bow to delay my chariot arm on the right. He shot the gap between the chariots & my main battle-line with his Jav-Cav. It was a great plan & would have surely rolled up my line. However, a couple of light foot (despite being double over lapped) refused to die & this bought me enough time to win the game on the other flank.
Game 2. Rob totally out deployed me in this game. Basically locking 5 elements of my light foot out of the game. However, a plague of bad pip dice preventing him from taking full advantage of my bad deployment and once again I crawled back a victory from defeat.
