I do like to see pictures of other people#s toys on the table. And even more useful: by reading it I learned something a little subtle about the rules that I had not understood previously :)
And what might that be ? the flank charge ?
By the way, I plan to post something at least once a month ( next game being already this sunday ) so you might as well subscribe to the site
You guessed :o
Having now seen it pointed out, it seems very obvious...but I had quite figured out all of the implications of the rules as written. That is one of the downsides of all my games to this point having been solo - my opponent always agrees with my own assumptions no matter how unfounded!
In this case I outguessed my opponent and knew he would have to charge to get me out of the way . I surprised him by shooting ( skilled shooters ) and accepting the charge ...and launching my own charge first "frontally" but latter in the flank as I charged second after his first charge ...but still it was a very very close thing .

Hi badhabum,
Thank you very much for all your reports. I have not visited the forum for long so I completely missed them. I am thus happy you pointed me in the right direction with your blog comment :)
I am now browsing through your games. The most interesting for me are the ones that have Byzantines as this is another army I would be interested in. Perhaps earlier period (if I ever get to collecting one at all!) but still interesting to see them in action.
Thank you for your efforts in preparing the reports, keep them coming!
Pawel
Happy to post so next time should be around 11th-12th january after our next game .
Great! I am looking forward to the new episode!

Thanks for those reports. They are certainly helpful for someone who is new to the game and still deciding what figures to buy/how to base.
It is nice to see battles with proper battlelines.
For a rapid discussion on what you might want as an army you should go to the FB page . Many people will help you !

Excellent report of an interesting battle. However, it fails to mention a legendary feat.
The Pharao's Exceptional Chariots (206 points each) were destroyed by a great shot of 4 poor slingers (27 points each) ! I understand why the Pharao is keeping this quite, but despite the Akkad army was beaten, this single heroic act lives on forever in Akkadian songs and formed the basis of the later story known as David vs Goliath.
;)
You got a memory problem ! look at the pictures your slingers missed but at impact my chariots did kill your infantry TUG lead by your legendary general and at impact you rolled a black die causing the final deadly wound on a TUG that had already killed 4 TUGs ( Cart, bowmen, guard axemen and finally the spearmen ) so not bad for an exceptionnal TUG ! Look well at the picures and you will notice that my exceptionnal chariots are in contact with your spearmen after declaring the charge and that both TUGs do dissapear after impact 8) my not propaganda is based on proof ... ;D

You got a memory problem !
I hope it is just my advanced age... You even seem to remember the individual dice throws, for my sanity I tend to forget those, especially the bad ones.
But nevertheless, legends do live a life of their own, and no one really knows their true origins.
The Akkad song of the poor slingers continue to be heard at night along the camp fires in the desert, reciting the name of the one who made the fatal shot,
Didila ( meaning "very small, young"), over the many centuries embellished to David...
Ambiorix, the Bard of the east :)
I had an advantage : taking the pictures which helps memorising
