The terrain fell into dense mountains, with secure woods on the left flank, and other woods joined them, but the trees didn't (I left them at home)! I managed to get a hill on my base line, my 'rocky ground' (or ruins) and my Timecast village on too.
Forces arrayed, Maerk has a centre of long spears, I have long spears on the right and Egyptian spears in the centre, chariots left and centre, but I was not happy with them there! Note Mark has based all his figures with ery pale sand, like an Aegean beach!
So I swung them right to counter Mark's chariot squadrons as they swung that way. In teh centre spears are about to clash with spears. On the left my cavalry and poor skirmishers are left to pin back Mark's javelin armed warriors and chariots.
Spears clash en echelon, and although Mark 6 units attacking my 6, his are smaller (6s vs 8s) and do not have shove. His fully armoured chariots close on my superior four of Blue Squadron. I caught and killed two units of his skirmishers here (2-0)
On the charge I kill a base, and wound his general on the right. Above them, Mark's flank charge of red and a green on my beaten up spears, and he rolled two S!
Shortly after a series of catastrophic KaBs rips through my line as one unit of spears breaking shatters another and a unit of chariots, while my remaining Mercanary spear units breaks through the line and hits the unit that just broke my spears! (4-6)
Moments later, it was all over. Mark shot my skirmishing horse away, but I collapsed his centre spears and a chariot, but my right-hand Egyptian spears in the centre and Mark's Mycenian spears mutually collapsed, sending me over my breakpoint (10-15, but I had actually score 12, anything over 10 does not count).
I'll get him, eventually! ;)
