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.

merci Jacques for the (photo) report.

Mental note to self, the umpire can be bribed (or numbed?) by beer !
At least now I know what those skulls refer to.

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

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...

I had an advantage : taking the pictures which helps memorising
