New Kingdom Egyptians versus Sea People Basic Impetus Game

Egyptians and Sea People exchange fire


Last Sunday a week ago Craig, Garry and I played two games down at the Vikings Club. The first of these was New Kingdom Egyptians, commanded by Craig, versus Sea People, commanded by me, in a Basic Impetus game. This was over fairly quickly and was a bit of massacre of the Sea People, they didn't manage to put up much resistance at all. The second game was a Dark Ages Lion Rampant game with Late Romans versus Early Saxons and I will put photos of this game in a separate post. I've been off line for a while with computer issues so haven't been able to post anything in this time.

  3. Great looking figures and set up, Mike. Love the ox cart - guess they worked kind of how they're depicted in Egyptian art of the period - slow and a bit a of a target :) I know how the Egyptians were respected by the Mycenaeans in the references made in the Odyssey.

  4. Thanks Dean, that's right most of what we know about the Sea People's appearance is from Egyptian reliefs and paintings. I'm working on some Mycenaeans for Chariots Rampant at the moment.
