Page history last edited by rob 1 yr ago

  Another game today vs S.Brittain (couple of pics in photo section)

Used Sassanids under Khursrau I (ie the Regular version) vs Stephens

Huns.

Sassanids

CiC rCvs + 10 rCvs

SG rCvS + 8 rCvS

SG rCvS + 2 rCvS + 2 ElO + 2 iPsO + 4 iAxS + 9 HdO

Nomad AG iCvO + 4 iLhO + 1 iLhI

Army baggage 2 rBgF + 2 rBgO in camp with 6 TF

Huns

3 Cmds with Regular CvO generals each with approx 10 iLhS the CIC had

additional 3 Cv a mobile Army baggage Cmd of 4 iBgF. CiC was

brilliant.

Terrain placement saw a  GH on my left with an O on my left rear and

2 E on my right 3 GH on Hunnic side of table.

Huns were invaders but deployed/moved first.

Stephen essentially deployed in 3 adjacent blocks of LH in 2 ranks

I had Nomads on GH on my left with 2 Cmds of Asavaran deployed across

centre and my El/Inf cmd on my right with Levy in the E fields. Camp

on rear edge.

Huns advanced on mass across the table with cople of elements

advancing to extend his right flank. I advanced to meet them

expecting my Nomads to fold and my El/Inf to suffer.

However my Nomads held and killed 2 Hun Lh. Combat then ensued

between a line of 12 of my Cav and 12 Hun Lh during which Stephen had

an abysmal run of luck both in his own and my bound losing a further

7 elements (right flank Cmd disheartned) and not even recoiling a

single Cv element ! on his left he had some success killing a PsO and

and El.

Next turn saw his right flank Cmd go broken and its 2ME hit

dishearten the adjacent central Cmd.

He did however dishearten my El/Inf Cmd on my right.

Inevitably his central Cmd then broke ending game.

Quick bloody and another win pour moi :-)

Really no great tactics in this one all down to good dice rolls by me

and awful rolling by Stephen (reverse usually occurs). Once he failed

vs my LhO he lacked any overlaps and was then vulnerable to my Cv.

He just never got any rolls in his favour to gain any advantage

anywhere in centre and lost elements consistantly. Whilst he was

close to breaking my El/Inf cmd he lost too quickly elsewhere fir it

to matter.

His Brilliant Gen double 1 Pip score but I dont think he had any

other stratagems to utilise ?
