DBA Sea People against Egyptians - The Revenge

Posted by MABO on 26 Aug 2022, 21:32

After the crushing defeat, http://bennosfiguresforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=173&t=25903
we directly followed up with a second round. Different terrain and different tactics from Ramses!

:thumbup:

After landing on the coast, both armies ensured firm battle lines.

The Egyptians' luck of the dice ensures that the lines hold and the Sea People's swordsmen are held off, while the Coastal Security Command rushes in from behind to support them.

Image

This time the archers also hold their ground in close combat and under the onslaught of the Pharaoh's guards the first unit of the invaders suddenly falls.

Image

On the left flank, the Egyptians then continue to advance inexorably and the few PIPs of the Sea People are not enough to pull the troops back to a safe line or to launch a coordinated counterattack.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Although the first Egyptians fall, the Libyan allies together with the Pharaoh's guards engage the enemy's swordsmen in a deadly melee...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Four Sea People units have fallen and the desperate attempt to relieve them does not even take the lives of the Nubians' light psiloi, but as the last action of the battle they retreat to their own lines.

Image

Image

Victory for Ramses and the Egyptians! The Sea People are running.

Great game and great evening with two cool armies of ancient history! :occasion: :occasion: :occasion:

Great stuff.
DBA is a a wonderful little game & moving to BBDBA (Big Battle DBA) will add nothing....except more of your fantastic figures.
(for those who don't know, BBDBA is virtually the same game but with 36 elements a side rather than 12).

The idea of penalties is not bad. We could choice our best elements and get them fighting to death. The one standing wins.

Anyway, aggregated score was 6 to 5: the Sea People qualified to the next phase ahahahahah
