The field of battle: Old School terrain using a felt ground mat and minimal terrain items, all scratch-built. Rules were Field of Glory
The Hittites, with more chariots on the day, were able to manouevre in great sweeps that left the Egyptians at a disadvantage
Egyptian infantry prepares to meet a chariot attack.
The Egyptian chariotry meet a set back
Egyptian archers….couldn't hit a barn door
A panoramic view of the battlefield
A cunning move that put another Hittite chariot force on the flank
Lots of discussion but the Egyptians were forced to throw in the towel
Battle winners. |

Wow, you did a great job on the painting and basing! Really first rate.  I'm jealous. The nice thing is you have inspired me to work on my own Chariot armies in 1/72! Any tips on your flocking technique? How did you like the rules? How did they handle chariot warfare? How long did your game run? Thanks, John |

@ John, our first FoG game (Punics) went for 5 hours with no finish. This was the beginning of the learning curve. 8 months later, we had 2 games of Bronze Age, each well under 2 hours including setting up & match post-mortem. Slick! IMO FoG need effort put into the rules but once you master them, they provide a great game. The only thing I can tell you about flocking is don't stint. I apply glue & literally pour whatever item I'm adding over the bases: sand, small gravel, medium & large. Grass tufts are, of course, a god-send. Thanks for the kind comments all. |

Nice looking game! Figures look great and the scenery, while kind of basic, looks really nice as well. |

Excellent looking figs, and the scenery SHOULD be minimalist – it's a desert, after all.  Doug |

No apologies needed for a good looking game with nice figures. Or the fact it is 'old school'.
Good AAR TOO. |
