Libyan Egyptian (15) vs Kyrenean Greek (58)

For the final game I was playing Pete’s Kyrenean Greeks. Only for the second time was I asked to defend, this time in the plains. The battlefield was denuded of terrain on the Libyan left, so wh
ere else would the chariots go? The heavy Meshwesh warriors were in the centre with the Libu warriors on their right. This was going to be an interesting fight against the pikes of Kyrene.

The line will advance, besides what else could we do!

The Libyan chariots were able to inflict some bow fire casualties on the way to contact. The Libu warriors are moving ahead of the main line and will end in contact first.

Contact! While the infantry line did its best to defeat the Greek pikes and hoplites, it would be up to the Chariots to buy them time; if necessary with their lives.

The Chariots have outperformed themselves and are now in the ascendancy. In the centre one pike unit has already succumbed to the power of the Meshwesh, while the other has now bee flanked. On the far right the mediocre swords are now in position to move against the enemy line’s flank.

The Libyan chariots may have outreached themselves, but they have completed their mission. The infantry has broken through along the line and all the pikes have been defeated. One of the Meshwesh warrior units is attempting to reach the enemy camp!

Outcome

A Libyan victory by inflicting 29 hits and receiving 24 in return.

For the weekend of Attack, the Libyan’s came away with 3 winds, 1 defeat and 1 draw leaving me 5th out of 26 players; my best result for a tournament. A big thank you to Paul for suggesting the army.

Lessons Learnt

  • Once the Chariots had engaged and then regrouped I was too aggressive and should have stood off more.
