Last Sunday Garry and I met down at the Vikings Club in Lanyon, for a 3500 points Pacto (small) game of Mortem et Gloriam (MeG). We diced for sides and I got the New Kingdom Egyptians, and Garry, the Hittites. The Hittite attackers were out scouted, so deployed part of their force first. It was Garry first game and only my third game so we were fairly slow working things out. Both armies advance cautiously and then the Hittite infantry charged in the centre and the Hittite chariots charged the NKE chariots on their left flank. The NKE archers and chariots were ineffective with their shooting and before long were suffering at the hands of the Hittites in combat.
The NKE chariots on the right flank were destroyed and their commander killed in combat. On the NKE left flank the chariots charged the Hittite skirmishers who skirmished in response and easily got away. In the centre casualties were mounting for the NKE, a commander was killed and a Kill a Base (morale) test saw further wounds inflicted. Only the Sherden and Lukka put up much resistance and the Hittites did lose the odd base and a commander. It was all over for the NKE as it was only a matter of time before both centre commands routed.

Fantastic looking battle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal, the NKE didn't put up much of a fight but it was good to get the figures out.
DeleteLooks great, awesome armies!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, it was good to give the armies a run.
DeleteNice looking battle, I have not heard of these rules before, but then I have no Ancient armies so perhaps that's not surprising
ReplyDeleteThanks rross, they were self published by the author in 2016, a Compendium of the rules is to be released at Salute in April this year.
DeleteTwo lovely looking armies, no matter the result!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain and Jonathan, they're fun armies to game with and we're still learning the rules.
DeleteWonderful toops as always, Mike. First I've heard of these rules.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, they came out in 2016, the author was involved in FoG, a Compendium of the rules will be released in April at Salute.
DeleteNice spread and the miniatures look great. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon... as a hobbyist that is.
