Battle of the Wine Dark Sea

[Ochoin]

As a play test of my new rules - 'The Brazen Sea'- I ran a solo battle between 4 NKE boats & 2 Sea Peoples ships. This is still all a bit rough so apologies.

The rules are simple so the game took about an hour: not bad. The rules worked surprisingly well. I will have to tweak movement (too slow) and manoeuvre (not complex enough) but otherwise, acceptable. I could do with a few more Sea Peoples & a lot more Egyptains (3 figures a boat!) but that's all I have, individually mounted.

A simple scenario, the Sea Peoples approached & attacked the Egyptians. a raid.

The NKE stupidly split their forces to sail either flank & the centre, around the islands. The Sea Peoples advanced down the centre.

The Sea Peoples' ships, with their heavy crew, picked off the Egyptians, then boarded (there's a dice roll for each figure to see if he will) & took 2 Egyptian boats.

The remaining two NKE boats fled.

I have a bit of work ahead, working on my boats, painting more crew & further play testing but it looks a winner.
