The Testiad : Death of a Hero.

 The campaign continues.  The Hittites create new heroes, after two were killed.  

Campaign progress after game 1
Game two
The Raid.
The Peleset and their unreliable ally decided to raid, and gathered hostages slave honey cows and some very cute looking .mouflon sheep.


The terrain is laid by the Hatti.  This represents the route home.  The Raiders must escape from the far edge.

The deployment.  Testes leads with Pajamarama following up.

Testes leads the march.  Great dice although the hordes with loot use all of his mighty deeds to move.  Ominous!  Pajamarama has trouble with the mouflons.

The Hittites come on quickly.  That riverbed keeps them off the column.  Hittites skirmishers erupt from the village.

The Hittites descend on our open flank.  Pajamarama moves to counter.
Testes however pressed on trying to get off table.  

I try to get the column off table, but find the movement dice failing.

The Hittites use their chariots well, beating up the horny cows.

And Testes ends up fighting across the river

The Hittites offer single combat, and Testes is "proud" so can't refuse.  Both commanders die.  That is the end of the road for the Testiad.

And Pajamarama also takes a mighty wound.

The Hittites cross the riverbed as Testes command gets a group of slaves off table.

And the end as Pajamarama is abandoned by his ally and surrounded.  Pub o'clock and a loss for the Sea People's, who remain one point ahead in the campaign.


Testes has passed, but his gigantic son, Gonad Sea King of Gath is out for revenge.  Big boy!  I did a chariot skateboard for him too!
