Libyan Egyptian (15) vs Ancient British (98)
Final game of day 1, and I found myself against Harry; we had both won 2 on the bounce and this would be a fight out for who might move up or down the leaderboard. If there is one ting Harry knows well it is how to mess with his opponent’s head. Most of the times it is by placing the terrain at odd angles; which is surprisingly successful tactic. This time he surprised me by winning the initiative and deciding to attack me in the desert! I knew I was outnumbered in Chariots by 2 to 1; but what I did not know was that they were split between each of his three commands. I therefore deployed the Libu warriors forward on the right, with the Meshwesh Warriors refused to their left, and the Chariots refused to their left.
The Brit chariots arrived to suffer a wave of bow fire from the Libyans.
As could be expected it was not long before contact was made. Already the Libyan armoured light chariots are providing more robust than the British chariots. The Libu warriors have inflicted hits on the British infantry. Although no one seems keen to contact the Meshwesh heavy warriors.
Contact continues along the line with the Meshwesh warriors now in contact with the enemy. We were matching each other for casualties at this stage.
More British chariots suffer losses and in the centre they have broken off contact.
By this stage it was looking to be a close run thing, with the losses favouring the Libyans. Only for the Brits to get their second win and for the dice gods to desert the Libyans
Outcome
The Brits snatched a mutual destruction from the jaws of defeat on the last turn, with the Brits losing 28 to our 27.
