The Battle before the Hittite Walls.

From the Goniad

Stanza 23456

"Sing oh Muse
Tell of the big lad and
His mighty weapon etc...
How the Hittites held their Walls
And a disappointing minor victory"

The Sea People parade the stolen god up and down the line.  This infuriates the Hittites who come out to offer battle.

The lines are drawn up.

And Phallus Champion of the Peleset goes a little mad and challenges the Hittites to single combat.

So much for that idea.

The Hittites are enraged, and attack surging forward.

Unhappy with my deployment I make some turns to get a better advance.

That area of rough ground to the front is a pain.

And the Pajamarama - Wilma combo of heroes launches chariot attacks on the right.

Better picture!

I spread my forces to give me some pushback room. And I drive the Hittites back from the rough ground to reorganise.

Those Hittites come forward aggressively on the right, with excellent dice luck.

And I charge chariots into a gap through skirmishers to exploit and waste the Hittites mighty deeds.

And Pajamarama is getting shoved back on the right.

The Hittites confront my exposed hero, Patroclitorus, with a higher level hero charge.

And Pajamarama is in bother

With his chariots killed Patroclitorus has had it!

And the Hittites are massing against my left.  Holding them though.

The big guy goes in killing off a Hittites foot warriors group.

But I lose Arsius, bold fellow, pushed his luck.

The Hittites general and is in trouble, but it's the last turn.

The endgame.  The Hittites have more far tokens than the Sea Peoples.  We win the campaign with a narrow victory, but fail before the mighty walls.

Great game!
