With the same lightning-fast speed as an Assyrian chariot racing across the Mespotamian plain, 4 fully-featured, text-based old school battle reports from the recent Attack! competition in Devizes have now made it to my website!
The 4-battle campaign sees my 28mm Assyrian army taking on: - the Indians of Donesh Mukhu,
- the hat-obsessed Hittites,
- my army's own futuristic 3D printed ancestors the Sargonid Assyrians, and..
- in another Assyrian Civil War, the Queen Semiramis-inspired "disguised camel" madness of another Assyrian army commanded by King Dickaleth-Hashdod (Cunning Vizier of the Nineveh Left Hook).
As has become all too usual, all reports feature possibly untrue historical facts, poor quality humour, deeply inappropriate comments from the participating soldiers themselves, and extensive post-match analysis from both the Assyrian Commander and Nasty Hannibal.
So, put on the kettle, open a packet of biscuits, roll out the carpet, pop on your favourite hat and get ready to be mind-boggled by the Tales of Ancient Assyria at War in The West Country!

They were a good read, and your 'commentary' was spot on. |

Reading this series of battle reports reminds me of the first time I played Assyrians – full of surprises and Granny Game … many ‘off-script humor' moments like that. |
