Last Sunday afternoon we played a 25 point Neo-Assyrians versus Neo-Babylonians Chariots Rampant game. The Babylonian rebels were the attackers with the usual Bloodbath scenario. The rebels had two units of mixed spear and bow infantry, a unit of Chaldean slingers, a unit of Arab Camel riders and a mixed spear and bow cavalry unit. The Assyrians had two units of Sab Sharri auxiliaries, mixed spear and bow infantry, a unit of Guard cavalry, armed with both spear and bow, and a unit of Heavy Chariots. Each unit was capable of ranged fire, so this often made shooting an attractive option. The Babylonian rebels made effective use of their fire power and inflicted a crushing defeat on the Assyrians who lost both their infantry units and their cavalry.

Outstanding! Terrific to see your Biblicals out on the gaming table. Especially cool to see your recent additions and the camelry.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, it was good to finally have a game with these figures. Hopefully I'll get my Skythians on the table soon.
DeleteThat will be cool! Remind me again as to who produces the camelry? I could use some of those.
DeleteThe Warlord Games ones are the nicest, Castaway Arts do them as well.
DeleteLooking great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal.
DeleteLovely looking game, great figures!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain.
DeleteLovely looking battle. Glad to see archery having such a good effect in battle. Archery skills were certainly prized in the period and for good reason likely.
ReplyDeleteSorry Colin, I missed your comment, I've only just noticed it, I turned the email notification in blogger off. I want to try a game with my Scythians but have to finish some noble cavalry first.
