Yesterday afternoon in our shed, I played a solo 32 point Chariots Rampant game with Sea People raiders versus Mycenaean defenders. The scenario was a lot of fun, the hammer and anvil one, with the Sea People raiders trying to exit on the far table edge while the Mycenaean defenders tried to prevent them. In the end the Sea People destroyed most of the Mycenaean units and had command of the table with only one unit and their leader destroyed. The Mycenaean still had a unit of spearmen, archers and slingers but had lost both chariot units, their leader and a unit of spearmen.
The Sea People proved too powerful in combat, they were all Fierce Foot with the Sherden Warriors, Expert with upgraded stats. In retrospect the splitting of the Mycenaean forces worked to their disadvantage, the slingers were not very effective and the archers didn't fire a shot the whole game! I'd like to try this scenario again but think the Mycenaeans would have been better off with two more spearmen units rather than the missile troops.
