New Kingdom Egyptians (14) vs Neo Babylonians (8)
London Grand Tournament Game 4
My first opponent on the Sunday was Graham from Team Keith
Martin Smith.
This is a game I would like to draw a veil over. I think my brain was in meltdown first thing on Sunday morning. That can be the only thing they explain such a cockeyed deployment.
The piece of terrain with the dice on is
impassable ground, which I chose and placed that way around. Graham chose the
desert in front of my heavy troops and that's where I decided to field the
troops who had most difficulty in moving through it.
.
My only hope was that my force on my left flank might succeed in small measure before my other troops managed to pass through the difficult ground
What little hope I had, vanished as my troops were taken
apart by Graham.
Outcome
A crushing defeat for the Egyptians losing 28 cohesion
points to a miserly 2 on Graham
Lessons learnt
- The benefits of a secure flank to protect one’s camp, does not outweigh the need for open ground to enable your heavy troops to deploy and fight.
- Not my greatest hour!
