Hebrews vs. Midianites

Post by Texus Maximus » Wed Jan 29, 2025 6:02 pm

Steven and I played a game at the local game store (VS Games in Fate, Texas) a few weeks ago using my Hebrew and Midianite armies. I commanded the Midianites and Steven took the Hebrews.

The main line of Midianites.

Image

The Midianite right was where I planned to win the battle. The Camelry are in column so they can get out of the rough terrain and attack the Hebrew flank quickly. The intent was to crush the skirmishers opposing them then roll up the main line or attack the camp.

The main line of the Hebrew army; both Light Foot and Warbands. Steven has kept a reserve of Bow Levy near the camp so that he has more lines of defense against the faster Midianites.

Image

The Midianites advance. Midianite Skirmishers can be seen scaling the steep hill in the distance.

Image

The Camelry and Skirmishers close in on their intended target - two stands of Hebrew youth with slings. Victory is assured by Baal-Peor!

Image

The Hebrew skirmishers fight furiously and refuse to give ground.

Image

Just before the main lines engage. The fight between the Midianite camelry and and Hebrew skirmishers is drawing more troops but the Hebrew Skirmishers will not yield.

The Hebrew camp and protective screen of Bow Levy. The Ark of the Covenant is present on the field.

Image

The battle lines engage, led by the Picked Men (Raiders is Triumph! terms)

Image

It is over in moments. The Midianites turn and flee from the superior Hebrew infantry after only token resistance. The Hebrews - with their resilient skirmishers, the rough terrain, and Steven's excellent generalship - were victorious in short order.

Admirable, standard setting, and even spectacular . . .

Jolly good stuff!

A very nice report on a spectacular looking game Paul.

Cheers,
