Back to biblicals

Mighty Afrophis

Perm of the Nile

Sought out the Peoples of the Sea

Amun smiles

At Pharoah's jammy dice


Back to Achillies Rampant for us, after a two year gap.  I had completed two more units of Egyptians, and Pharoah's host is looking a little more daunting.

The Egyptian Panzer Division

The scene, a border town being raided by the Egyptians for the sacred scrolls of Vectron

And since its a "Rescue" Pharoah goes down first.  We dont even know where the villains will appear from.

And Afrophis, our Pharoah, has taken a sacred Army Standard.  Amun vs Vectron, what could go wrong?

The Panzers roll

And here come the Sea Peoples.  Just back from Troy I think.

My basing really does make the Egyptian infantry look like Regulars.

And the lines start to close.


My mad Pharoah is baited into a wild charge trap

Even his activation roll says it all.

Turns out though Pharoah is indeed Mighty

And the Sea Peoples get a little flustered.

But those archers are powerful.

With time running out I get Pharoah back to a position he can't get himself into more trouble.

And the Egyptian archers start to prove their worth.

Pharoah fights and defeats the enemy leader.


The end game.  Really enjoyable.

A welcome return to Chariot Rampant.  It plays brilliantly!

Parker's Halt, the gunfight.

 Parker's Halt, the gunfight at the railway station.

The rail station.  My mission is to burn it down.

And the Hero shot.  Righy to left;  Samuel L Deadshot, Dwaine "the Rock" Dibley, the Windy Kid and Walking Bear with his new Springfield heavy rifle.

And on support I gain a Mariachi band as henchmen.  Samuel l Deadshot also gets a rare 1 in a 1000 Winchester.

The Mariachi band close in on the station

And Samuel L. gets into the rocks. My shooting is dire though.  Every one of my characters has shock on them.

Six shots into that building, every one a one in the dice, but I miss the young School Marm too.

Windy tried to get close but is quickly down and out.

Samuel gets closer but I decided enough and my guys ride for the hills.

The close terrain and all of that cover didn't help but it was my useless dice that did for me.  Much jubilation among the outlaws.
