Yesterday afternoon out in the shed, I played a solo Chariots Rampant game with Sea People versus New Kingdom Egyptians. This is the first game I've played out in the shed since our home renovations were finished. Both sides had 48 point forces and the scenario was the usual Bloodbath one, with Sea People raiders trying to capture a village while the Egyptians defended it. The game was a lot of fun and proved to be level pegging most of the way. The Egyptian leader was killed by lucky blows and a few turns later the same fate befell the Sea People leader. In the end it was a bloody draw with both sides suffering heavy casualties.

  4. Nice painting. Well done for calling out that parasite on TMP. I have never seen him post anything he has done himself. Why not complain to Bill?

    1. Thanks Khusru, yeah he's a pain, spamming all the message boards and posting other people's content all the time. I think people have complained in the past and tried to have him banned but Bill's response was he hasn't broken any TMP rules.
