Cold Wars 2024 was canceled, the Harford Area Weekly Kriegspielers, aka, the
HAWKS group, stepped up and organized their own gaming event. <b></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We owe them a great deal of thanks.<b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Also an acknowledgement to the City of <a href="https://havredegracemd.gov/community/community-places/community-center/" target="_blank">Harve de Grace's Community Center </a>(ok, I guess it was disclosed) for their recent renovations. The Men's room was totally renewed with fresh tiles, and lighting that you could work on your tan with.<br /></p>

When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or "tha sin a' goirteachadh!"
or "Ahia!", this implies a disorder from
missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some value change for the
specific unit. For commanders it is s for strategist, b for Brilliant, c
for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for unreliable. For troops it is e
for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB
Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2 Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn
Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC
Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract, Pa Pavise, LI, Light
Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear, Heavy Spearmen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately
capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the
game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game
values for the commanders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>Any inaccuracies and vagueness as to specific units is to be regarded as fog of war and should be considered as part of the fun. <p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Board:</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Italians win the initiative and elect for the Scots to attack in the plains.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Scots only have Mountains as a choice for home territory. Many armies would rather fight in the plains, and then would have to accept being on the defensive to do so.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Other games at Cold Barrage:<br /></b></p><p>Some 35 games, 32 vendors showed up.</p><p>The next Barrage is Sept 27 and 28. <a href="https://tabletop.events/conventions/barrage-2024" target="_blank">Game master registration is in July, attendees in August.</a><br /></p><p><b></b></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Tom's Italians had their own lessons to learn, and learn they did, as Tom ended in second place for the day. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The battle on my left, even though successful, did not go as planned. In the end, it out shot it's opponents, which with 4 bow to 2, it should. And forced them to come off the hill. But the Irish never went down the knights flank, but instead derived support from the center command to deal with the Italian's mixed spear/XB units.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the center, the plan worked better than expected. 4 engagements on charge, winning one, losing one and tieing 2. That is better luck than expected. And that set the stage for obliterating the Italian knight command.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But the right flank was a total FUBAR. One warband wound up chasing a Light horse the whole game. A knight just plowed through the end warband, then wound up killing 2 more units by games end. What could have been 4 battles of Islemen vs Spear never happened until the Islemen were disordered by missiles and flanked. With predictable results. The only saving grace here was the knights victory was so far on the flank, that they couldn't get to the center to turn things around there.<b><br /></b></p><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But the core problem was the coordination of the commands was poor. The left command was to sweep right, while the center command to provide a anvil for it's hammer. But the center command advanced too far and the left flank couldn't keep up.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then the separation of the center and right allowed for gaps that the Italians could exploit. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">* Why Clan Ramsay and Clan Jordan?

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Display Conventions:</b> When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or"Aoibh!", this implies a disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some value change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for unreliable. For troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2 Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract, Pa Pavise, LI, Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear, Heavy Spearmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game values for the commanders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any inaccuracies and vagueness as to specific units is to be regarded as fog of war and part of the fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Initiative:</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I recently copied an email list of other than ADLG ancients players. For their benefit, I am going to go into more detail of the play than normal. Particularly all the pre-game action like the initiative, the terrain placement, etc, that occur BEFORE turn 1. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the normal readers, scroll down about 4 o 5 pages to "Turn 1".<b><br /></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"The Irish win the Initiative and elect to attack in the Plains".</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What does this mean? The short explanation is there is a dice off between the players, and the high die gets the initiative. Which means he will determine, who is the attacker/defender and the terrain type the game will be played in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When rolling the dice, one player will get to add up to 4 depending on the difference in the Init modifiers for his list. Your list can have an Init rating as low as zero, and as high as 6. Depending on the strength of your commanders, the number of lights, and a bonus +1 for a Strategist. The player with the higher value subtracts the lower value for his modifier. But this modifier cannot exceed 4, to give the lower Init player a chance to gain the Initiative.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this case, both sides had an Init rating of 3, and so it was a simple dice off.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Winner decides who is attacking. And picks a terrain type from the DEFENDERS regions. There are 5 types, Plains, Mountains, Steppes, Desert, and Forest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this case the Attacker picked Plains. The types of terrain pieces available and the number of pieces is limited on a chart. For instance, there dominant terrain type in the plains is a Field. There can be up to 4 Fields in the plains. Other pieces available is Coastal (limit 1), Marsh (limit 1), Plantation (limit 2), Gentle Hill (limit 1), a Road (limit 1), and a Village (limit 1). No Woods or Steep Hills or Dunes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Defender takes a Field, as that is required in the plains and then can select 2-4 more pieces from the list. The Attacker then selects 2-4 more pieces from what is left.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">After initial placement, there is an adjustment phase. The Attacker gets from zero to 3 adjustments. It depends on the number of terrain picks he chose, the fewer picks, the more adjustments.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He selects a piece and rolls the dice. On a 1 or 2, no adjustment. On a 3-4 he can move the piece 4 UD's. A UD in 15mm games is 40mm. On a 5 or 6 he can adjust a piece 6 UD's. Sometimes a 6 will allow him to remove a piece all together.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When completed, the Defender than gets to adjust. His rules for adjustment are identical to the attacker. So this is what happened.</p>

<td style="text-align: center;">Both the attacker and defender missed adjusting one of their picks. But the attacker did adjust the middle field 6 UD's towards the center of the board.

</table>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As terrain adjustment phases go, not much difference in the overall battlefield. In other games this can have major effects as pieces wind up in the center, or disappear completely.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Deployment</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After terrain is placed, the defender places his camp. The Attacker then places his camp.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The advantage of the defender is that he gets one addition piece of terrain to place, and has deeper zones to place ambushes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The advantage of the attacker is he incrementally gets to see what the defender is doing and can react to it. He gets to see where the defenders camp is and then decides where his camp will be. In this game, not much effect. The Defenders camp is near the river, and so a flank march would not be an option to take it. In a 300 point game, the camp is worth 6 points. For armies with demoralization levels of 34-37, that is about 18%. <b><br /></b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">After the camps are placed, each side then makes their "Battle Plan". While this sounds complicated, it is merely a set of numbers from 1-4. In this case, the battle plan for the Irish read, "1, 4, 2, 3" and Ambush# 1 5 Medium Sword, Commander, Ambush #2, 4 Medium Sword.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The numbers mean that command 1 is on the left, command 3 is on the right, 4 and 2 are in the center.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Defender places one command of his choice. The Attacker then place one command of his choice. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Repeat. Defender, then Attacker. The Attacker has the advantage of seeing the Defenders troops before placing his own.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> And here is our battle field. Representing an area in the Pale in Ireland.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Just looking at the battle lines, the troops all look alike to the eyeball. They have Heavy Swords with Missile support, Heavy Swords that are Elite and 2HW, Heavy Swords that have Armor, and 2HW and are Elite, and Heavy Swordsmen with Missile Support.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">If a unit is within 1 UD of another units front, it is in it's zone of control, or ZOC. That means it's options as to what it can do is very limited. Usually just charge or "Exit a ZOC", which is somewhat random, and may be subject to penalties.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What the Irish are doing is forcing the Norman knights to charge. If the knights do not charge, then over to the Irish right, the Irish will push past the Norman flank, then start charging down the line with a great benefit.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The rest of this fight is a lot of noise, with rare hits.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Their charge spent, the knights are down to "Other Cavalry Weapons", and many are disordered. Their one advantages is they are all armored, and half are elite.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Armor adds one to the die roll if you lose the battle, and possibly reduces any damage to zero.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Elite adds one to the die if you roll poorly, a 1,2, or 3.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">In this example, the left ambush formed a group facing the left side of the board, and wheeled out. The right group formed a column of 4 elements and went forward.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">We called it here with a Norman win assumed. At the beginning of the 7th turn, they had one point guaranteed, with a disordered Irish Medium Sword flanked against a heavy spear, but flanked by a knight. But the second point would prove elusive. Meanwhile the Irish could pick up 1 definitely, and 2 more probable points, taking the Normans to 30.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But at the bottom of the turn, the Normans would certainly pick up at least one more point and as many as 3 for the win.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So why play L' Art de la Guerre over Warrior<span style="font-size: xx-small;">(tm)</span>?<br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have played WRG and Warrior for over 30 years. ADLG for 8 now. So I have many more years experience with WRG, but I suspect, more games played with ADLG. I have 350 battle reports of ADLG games written, and I have not written all of them up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So which game is better?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Logistics</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ADLG. At 18-30 elements per army, the smaller size means better portability. I use a small tool box to carry the army and the terrain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Detail</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Warrior. There are many more nuances with Warrior.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Presentation</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Warrior, hands down. Armies of up to 500 figures fill a table. The Elephant themed tourney had 16 elephant figures on just one side of the board.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Rules</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ADLG. ADLG rules are simpler and easier to teach The rule books for ADLG and Warrior are of similar size, but the rules part of the ADLG book is just 40% of the book. The rest is the army lists.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Cost.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ADLG. Fewer figures to buy and paint. Only one book to purchase</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tactics.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Warrior. There is more details with units and their behaviors to consider.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Strategy</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tie. Both sides rely on a certain amount of rock-paper-sissors on unit match-ups. Both offer off board flank marches, both offer ambushes.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Player Endurance</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ADLG. Shorter games. 2.5 hours for ADLG with terrain picks vice 3.5 hours for Warrior with the terrain prelaid. 4 hours with terrain picks as part of the game.</p>Phil Gardockihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13213683478302437856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353863124716017429.post-3322950337474319422024-02-20T03:57:00.000-08:002024-03-03T10:15:57.602-08:00A Grievance of Scots <p><b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">A Headless Body Production</span></b><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Venue</b>: An Undisclosed Community Center<br /><b>Event</b>: Our continuing series of battles themed on the Norman Conquest.<br /><b>Players</b>: Garth and Steve running Normans<br /> The team of John, Bruce, Phil running the Scots<br /><b>Game System:</b> L'Art de la Guerre, 15mm, 300 points per side.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Forces:<br /></b>The Scots, in the year 1070<br />The Scots commanders are MacGregor, Fraser of Lovat, MacCleod and Eric the Viking.

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Normans, also in the year 1070<br />Commanded by Alan Fergent, The Count of Brittany, Eustace, the Count of Boulonge, Robert, the Count of Mortain, and Odo, the Bishop of Bayeux, yes, that Bayeux. All are rated as Competent<br />13 Medium Knights, Impetuous, half are elite<br />2 Light Horse with Javelins<br />9 Heavy Spearmen<br />2 Crossbowmen<br />4 Bowmen<br />3 light foot with Bow<br />Breakpoint 33</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We are competent now... It's like saying everyone is above average.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Display Conventions:</b> When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or "tha sin a' goirteachadh!" or "Douleur!"or "Mah poofy culur bahookie", this implies a disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some value change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for unreliable. For troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2 Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract, Pa Pavise, LI, Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear, Heavy Spearmen.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately
capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the
game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game
values for the commanders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>Any inaccuracies and vagueness as to specific units is to be regarded as fog of war and part of the fun. <p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Board:</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Scots win the initiative and steal the march on the Normans and confront them as they are camping near Loch An Eilein, deep in the dark heart of the forbidding Rothiemurchus forest.</p>

<p>For a 300 point game the board is 150cm, or 37.5 UD's. Between the coastal area and the forest, the clear portion of the board is narrowed to just 30 UD's. A comfortable fit for an army with 32 heavy foot.</p>

<p>I have to admit, part of my decision tree, was to see how it would look for the camera.</p>
<p>And I realize now that we cheated a bit.</p>
<p>Page 34, second bullet point, Unmaneuverable troops, except cavalry, <b>cannot make a third move.</b> I don't think it would have mattered, as they simply would have made two moves on the turn 2.</p>
<p>This is not as bad a decision as it seems. The Normans only have one unit, a light horse, that can interfere with this exchange. Their knights an foot cannot advance fast enough.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The difference between elite and ordinary cannot be more glaring here.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alan Fergent's knights engaged on turn 3 and are struggling. Eustace's elite knights charged a turn later and are cleaning up. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dusting off my Combat Calculator. It is written in VBA on Excel, and is not trademarked or patented.<br /><br />First the baseline. Assuming ordinary Knights against ordinary Heavy Spearmen.<br />The Knights will edge out a win 53% of the time. The Heavy Spear get a +1 for Impact on round one, while the Knights get Furious Charge and Armor. After that it is straight up rolls with the Knights having armor.<br /><br />Upgrade the Knights to Elite , and they win 74% of the battles against ordinary spearmen.<br /><br />For this games matchups, the spearmen are all mediocre. Against ordinary Knights , the Mediocre Heavy Spear lose 74% of their battles. An exact match as Elite Knights vs Ordinary Spear, as in Knight Elite get a +1 at the low end of the dice, and the Spear Mediocre get a -1 at the high end of the dice.<br /><br />And for Knight, Elite against Spear, Mediocre, the Knights will win 93% of their battles.<br /><br />It was asked what if Eustace had managed to match the command shift of the Scots, and placed his Elite Knights against MacGregors Thengns, all of which were Heavy Sword with Armor and Elite.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Knights win 62% of the fights. But it takes longer. As the Thengns have matching Elite status and Armor. Of note, when the Knights do win, they win quickly. On <i><b>average </b></i>3.3 rounds total. Which means they will be more quickly penetrating the line of swordsmen and gaining support advantage and flank shots sooner.<br /><br />In almost all the other matchups discussed above, the average number of rounds to a conclusion is about 4.4. Meaning, don't count on an quick win, regardless of the matchup. <br /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any inaccuracies and vagueness as to specific units is to be regarded as fog of war and part of the fun. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Board:</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The English win the initiative and elect to defend in the plains. Normally a knight army would want to attack, but the Scots home turf is only mountains, which is largely regarded as not good terrain for knights.</p>

<td style="text-align: center;">Despite York's attempts at encouragement, his spearmen advance at half speed. All the Scots have 2 handed weapons, which give them quite an advantage in melee.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How much of an advantage does 2 handed sword have over spear? The main advantage is they win ties. which will be about 16% of the dice-offs. In a full combat, from contact to one side routing, the +1 additional damage will occur, on average, twice. My combat calculator adds up the total number of times that 2HW adds an extra hit. In a thousand complete combats, it counted 2030 extra hits.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If both units are ordinary, the 2HW will win 64% of the battles in an average of 3.3 rounds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the English spear which are mediocre, the odds go to 83%</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It's the same odds for Elite Heavy Sword against Ordinary Spearmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And there will be one matchup, where the the Scots have an Elite unit against a Mediocre Militia, where the odds are 95% in favor of the 2HW.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The English victory is pyrrhic at best. Losing 80% of their knighthood is a disaster. Setting back the conquest of Scotland for another generation at least.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To create a knight is a major investment in capital. But a Scots Isle-man just takes unskilled labor to create :)</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">So what went wrong?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For the Welsh, luck failed them at a critical moment at very the beginning, they wanted to place a coastline and a village, both of which failed to materialize. What they got was a plantation and a gully, only to have the Normans remove the gully on the adjustment phase. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If even one of those had been kept, the game would have been very different. As it would have forced the knights to attack on a narrower frontage. And the vikings, all heavy sword, some with missile support, could have held for a bit longer while the mass of swordsmen could deal with the spearmen with superior numbers. Remember, the knights may have been neigh on invincible in this game, but the spearmen were not, and the break point of the Normans was just 26 compared to 40. And even when the Vikings were defeated, at 18 points, is less than half the overall Welsh demoralization level.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But luck did turn the other way. When the Welsh surged out of the plantation, the Norman spearmen <b><i>all</i></b> muffed their rolls, and were put on their heels quickly, and then destroyed in short order. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And while it seems like the vikings made a mistake in charging the knights on turn 2, giving up their missile support advantage, they did gain the overlap advantage for that turn. It was not enough of an advantage as it turned out. But I'll also note, only 3 of the viking swordsmen had missile support, so not a total loss there. If they had not charged, the Normans would have charged the Welsh medium foot first, holding back William's command, and the vikings would have been flanked before contact. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the Norman side, they had almost no flexibility in their list. They are great anti cavalry with their knights, and their spear are also good anti cavalry. But the list could have benefited with some lights. With just one light horse per knight command, Eustace s force could have raced for the Welsh camp and sealed the deal with 6 more points. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A couple of light foot per spear command would have served to absorb early missile fire as well, and be used to trip the ambushes, instead of the spear and bowmen getting to close to do the job.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The cost of 6 lights would have been two spear and one knight. And would have served to bump the Norman demoralization level to 29 points.</p>Phil Gardockihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13213683478302437856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353863124716017429.post-52682999496039412362024-02-06T13:12:00.000-08:002024-02-08T04:28:27.317-08:00A Cartload of Carthaginians <div><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: xx-small;">A Headless Body Production</span>

With just medium sword against heavy infantry pike is 14/86. Losing on average of just 3 rounds. Give them 2 handed weapon, and the odds go to 42/58. A remarkable increase. But not enough to win. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I had reserve units in each command to fill in the gaps of routed warriors, but one never got used, two got parsed off to deal with a cavalry incursion, the other was put into the line on the edge. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Against Heavy Cavalry?

But the Koreans were 5 away from breaking, while the Samurai were just 3 away.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">What went wrong?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">First the army organization. One of the Samurai commanders was ordinary, and had 7 units. Too many and they were too split up to be effective.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Not obvious in the game were 5 units of Samurai that were not elite. They were first to suffer missile hits that led to defeat. Or were, by either enemy design or just luck, in the dominant fights, while the elites were in the support positions. <br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The strategy of hiding the cavalry in the gully. This might have been a clever ploy if the gully was a bit further back, or if the Korean cavalry was less numerous. But as it was, to emerge frontally would have meant 3 units of cavalry would be fighting from the rough at a -2, and also facing overlap attacks from impact troops. The Samurai had elite and armor, but the Koreans have impact. Luck would be required to succeed. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">So the major command was forced to retreat and reform in the face of an implacable foe.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the center there was a herd of cattle. This caused a bit of consternation among the Koreans. They did not want to commit to range due to it's possible effects. Giving a certain advantage in the early arrow exchange. Eventually they did close, the cattle stampeded. Initial roll was a tie followed up but a loss for the cattle.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /> </p><p></p><p></p><p><br /></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /> </p><p></p><p></p><p><br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> </p>Phil Gardockihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13213683478302437856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353863124716017429.post-28085799546680067622024-01-09T03:15:00.000-08:002024-01-10T05:28:10.019-08:00A Shot of Parthians<p><b><span style="font-size: xx-small;">A Headless Body Production</span></b></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Any confusion between commanders names, or mislabeled units or conditions is to be considered part of the fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Parthians is one of my nightmare armies. My samurai have a combat value of zero against the Cataphracts, which also have a protection value of 2 against bow. And every other element in the Parthian army has a bow. So shooting it out with them is more of a numbers game.</p>
<p>Then the terrain was laid.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">This brought memories of a Saturday afternoon movie from long ago. 10 Gladiators Against the Parthians!. Possibly the only reference to Parthia that Americans, outside of our eclectic war-game group, ever had. It was an Italian movie titled<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NudzDbRWcZk" target="_blank"> Il trionfo dei dieci gladiatori, </a>Sorry for the advertisement, it cannot be helped. But outside of Italy, the movie had a number of different names.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can tell the Parthians because they wear those curly hats. And the Gladiators fashion statement was to be shirtless.<br /></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">It was a crushing win, but it was really down to the terrain placement in the beginning. John didn't make serious errors. All you can say is I didn't make many either while exploiting the terrain. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe he should have stayed on the base line and awaited an approach. But the Samurai horse would still have evaded the Cataphracts, while the foot bow would have reeked havoc on the lesser armored horse.<br /></p><p><br /></p>

<p><b>Venue</b>: Wyndom Lancaster Resort nee Host<br /><b>Event</b>: HMGSs' Fall In(tm) Open 15mm tournament, Round 2<br /><b>Players</b>: Phil Gardocki running Samurai<br /> Duncan Richards running Tuareg <br /><b>Game System:</b> L'Art de la Guerre, 200 points per side.</p>
<p><b>The Forces:</b><br />Samurai (list 221)<br />The Samurai are commanded by Yoshitune, the Strategist, and the usual subordinates, Darryl-San the Competent and his other brother Darryl-San, Ordinary, included and unreliable.<br />8 Samurai, Medium Swordsmen, Bow, Elite<br />3 Yari, Medium Swordsmen, Mediocre<br />5 Mounted Samurai, Heavy Cavalry, Elite<br />2 Scouts, Light Cavalry, Bow<br />1 Followers with Bow, Bowmen<br />1 Light Infantry, Bow<br />1 Levy<br />Breakpoint of 21</p>
<p>The Tuareg, list 210, are commanded by commanders of unknown quality<br />12 Medium Camel, Impetuous, most elite<br />6 Medium Sword, Impetuous<br />4 Light Camel, Impact and Bow<br />6 Light Infantry, Javelin<br />Breakpoint of 28</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Display Conventions:</b> When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or "痛い!" or "Autsch!", this implies a disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some value change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for unreliable. For troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2 Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract, Pa Pavise, LI, Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear, Heavy Spearmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Commanders are rated s for Strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent, o for Ordinary and u for Unreliable</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game values for the commanders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any confusion between commanders names, or mislabeled units or conditions is to be considered part of the fun. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Board:</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Tuareg wins the initiative and elect to attack in the mountains. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Duncan explained his decision. He really needed just narrow areas to stuff his camels in. And all the terrain is bad for shooters. -1 shooting from a steep hill or from cover in the forest. So negating the main advantage of the Samurai army. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I have always loved the concept of HG Well's Martians on earth. Germs aside, once man was getting organized, it was a fair fight. Cannons took out a few of them initially. The Thunderchild, which was basically a heavy cruiser sized ship, took out 2 or 3 more. Out of a force that was at most 50. <br /></p><p>So when the kick starter for Martian Front was announced, I went in. Along with several of my Wed. Night gaming group. I have a number of battle reports<a href="https://philsmartianfront.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> posted here...</a><br /></p>

committed my lights earlier than I should. They had only the advantage
of being elite and nothing else. So they were relying on luck to carry
the day, and didn't.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Around
turn 4, my heavy horse accepted the knight charge. Again with no
advantage other than elite. I was lucky to disengage with only one unit
disordered. The thought was to take advantage of my lead and if I
could just disorder one knight, it would help. But it was just a bad
call overall, and luck saved me from a disaster.</p><p>Otherwise, the
middle command's archery was embarrassingly good. To the point I was
retiring dice because they were too lucky. <br /><b><br /></b></p>Elsewhere...<b><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUNmLelFd8lNCbkEcy-L7ORX2fCNBFGVQ46FaQ0VSeSi-GsDUDRF7nGV6Iaek0ZuxZRp61TN4jIKsJKnhONpJvTuWhYyMcp7vdjFhBdnD4_WTaaCVzFwu3kLsDkIwZgjmrXDXvi_3MTSuvTi-ClfKXEojBvkYVAoQszIPzJJoKgYW0V_-Yr_fIHIT9WLA/s1280/IMG_5372.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUNmLelFd8lNCbkEcy-L7ORX2fCNBFGVQ46FaQ0VSeSi-GsDUDRF7nGV6Iaek0ZuxZRp61TN4jIKsJKnhONpJvTuWhYyMcp7vdjFhBdnD4_WTaaCVzFwu3kLsDkIwZgjmrXDXvi_3MTSuvTi-ClfKXEojBvkYVAoQszIPzJJoKgYW0V_-Yr_fIHIT9WLA/w640-h480/IMG_5372.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Boxer rebellion is setting up<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQ4nMKWcO7G7aaUkylupYEfSenOCIVr1uH3lMv2hvfV2mwuSL0yZrAApPDSpHQzbSvLBR5MRT-bS6RSmTEdflWqjgGdenSoFI57MnqOZwH0zt2sR-kbi1h7tMQyUQF8hDcp75rSzdznmZzU4f068-YznUNsLpvzJ1cYToafBPy3xl-LheAO1JgmBX0mM/s1280/IMG_5373.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjQ4nMKWcO7G7aaUkylupYEfSenOCIVr1uH3lMv2hvfV2mwuSL0yZrAApPDSpHQzbSvLBR5MRT-bS6RSmTEdflWqjgGdenSoFI57MnqOZwH0zt2sR-kbi1h7tMQyUQF8hDcp75rSzdznmZzU4f068-YznUNsLpvzJ1cYToafBPy3xl-LheAO1JgmBX0mM/w640-h480/IMG_5373.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">An All Quiet on the Martian Front board. <br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></b> 24 feet long. 6 Land Ironclads, 3 foot tall Overseers. <p></p><p>The game system is a personal favorite of mine.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday I was running Samurai for 3 games. Hopefully I know how to beat them as well. We will see.<b><br /></b></p><p><b>The Forces:</b></p><p>Samurai (list 221)<br />The Samurai are commanded by unnamed commanders.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Display Conventions:</b>
When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or "痛い!", this implies a
disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some value
change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for strategist, b
for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for unreliable. For
troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other abbreviations, Hvy
Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2 Handed Weapons, B
Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md Medium, Sgt
Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract, Pa Pavise, LI,
Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear, Heavy
Spearmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Commanders are rated s for Strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent, o for Ordinary and u for Unreliable</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately
capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the
game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game
values for the commanders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any confusion between commanders names, or mislabeled units or conditions is to be considered part of the fun.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I'm not sure what the final score was for the Hun. Scanning the pictures I see 15. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What went wrong?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First the design flaw in the army. I thought an included Strategist was "ok", because he would be in the center of 7 units, and once in combat, all those units would be fighting anyway. And he would always be able to command 1 extra unit, even in combat. But here, he needed to command 2 units minimum to save himself. And 4 to be effective. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This allowed Carl to eventually work a flank shot that killed Lram for 6 points. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also a mistake of holding disordered lights to receive a charge. When they were gone, then they allowed free range of all those Hun units on the edge to turn on to the center.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, when it became clear I could take the camp, I should have focused on it. A slide left on turn 3, instead of a straight forward move would have put the archers 6 UD's away, setting up the camp to fall on turn 5. Which would have led to a mutual distraction instead of a loss.</p>

<p><b>Venue</b>: Wyndom Lancaster Resort nee Host<br /><b>Event</b>: HMGSs' Fall In(tm) Open 25mm tournament, Round 3<br /><b>Players</b>: Phil Gardocki running Timurid<br /> Tod Creasey running Triumphant Romans<br /><b>Game System:</b> L'Art de la Guerre, 200 points per side. </p>
<p>Tod was nice enough to preregister his list. But the spell checker changed the name of his list from "Triumvirate" to "Triumphant". </p><p>Close enough for naming purposes.<b><br /></b></p>
<p><b>The Forces:</b></p>
<p>Triumphant Romans, list 83<br />The Commanders were unnamed and of uncertain qualities<br />4 Horsemen, could be heavy or medium, or elite. Who knows?<br />6 Legionaries, Heavy Swordsmen, Impact, possible armor, possible elite<br />3 Thracians, Medium Sword, 2 handed weapon<br />4 Arab Warriors<br />1 Numidian, light horse, javelin<br />1 Syrian, light horse, bow<br />2 Arab Scouts, light camel, bow, mediocre <br />2 Cretans, light foot, bow, elite <br />3 Greek Archers, Light Foot, Bow <br />Breakpoint of 29</p>
<p>The Timurids, list 273, are led by Lram, a Strategist, his brother Darian the Brilliant, and his other brother Darian, the Ordinary<br />4 Nobles, Heavy cavalry, impact, bow, elite <br />3 Horse Archers, Medium cavalry bow <br />4 Turkomans, Light cavalry, bow, elite <br />2 Turkomans, Light cavalry, bow<br />2 Archers, Bowmen, Stakes<br />1 Afghan Archer, Light Infantry, bow<br />2 Persian Archers, Bowmen, Mediocre<br />2 Elephants, one with armor<br />1 Naffatun, Light Infantry, Incendiary<br />Break Point 21</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Display Conventions:</b> When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!", implies a disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some value change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for unreliable. For troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2 Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract, Pa Pavise, LI, Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear, Heavy Spearmen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Commanders are rated s for Strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent, o for Ordinary and u for Unreliable</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game values for the commanders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any confusion between commanders names, or mislabeled units or conditions is to be considered part of the fun.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Deployment:</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Timurids win the initiative and elect to attack in the plains.</p>

<div>Looking back at this photo, I recognize a mistake I made with the terrain. I picked the Marsh, but I rolled for it to be on that hextant. And so I just shoved it in the corner and out of the way. But the effect was to give Dennis a natural defense for his camp.</div>

<div>The original plan was to skirmish against the camelry with the lights, while leading the heavier horse against the mass of expected medium foot. But surprise, there isn't any. The Bedouin foot are all bow with tethered camels. Which count as emplaced stakes. The bow shoot better, and my horse is -2 when attacking across the stakes. So that plan is a bust. </div>

<p><br />A decisive win for Dennis's Bedouins<b>.</b></p>
<div><b>What went wrong?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">It would be trite to answer, "everything". This battle report could be used as the primer on how not to fight with a cavalry army.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">But, lets go into the details. <heavy sigh></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">First was the choice of an army. I knew going into this, that it was a provide practice for the Pre-501BC tournament at <a href="https://www.hmgs.org/general/custom.asp?page=FI_Home" target="_blank">HMGS's Fall In</a> tournament. Which I was not going to participate in, as I was running Samurai in the Open Tournament. And I don't have many armies from the early periods. I have tried Ancient British, Celts and Thracians. But Medium Sword are the Orcs of this game, and I have difficulty even placing as high as second to last.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">But I knew at least 2 people were bringing Scythians. So I built an army that Dennis, with his Bedouins, and Al with his Hebrews would be facing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">So how to play them? Here was the overall plan. Get the initiative. Attack in the Steppe. Lock the Camels down with a couple of Light Horse. Send the Mediums and Heavies to defeat the scads of Medium Swordsmen. Then shoot up a couple of camels for the win. The Indian allies are to act as a flank anchor, in some brush that will inevitably show up on my side of the board. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Problem number 1: The highest initiative the Scythians can have is 3. 1 for the commanders (max 3, divided by 2, round down to 1). The most they can get from additional lights is +2 for six light horse. So 3 it is. So that was a crap shoot at best. The Bedouins also had an initiative of 3, and won the dice off. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Problem number 2: Everything in the Bedouin starts as a "warrior". They start on foot, but any number can be mounted on camels. There were zero medium swordsmen for the Scythians to run over. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Problem number 3: What foot the Bedouins did bring were bowmen with tethered camels, which act as stakes. They will get a +1 on shooting against the Scythian horse bow, and act as an excellent flank guard. Not that the Scythian horse couldn't handle them. They could. But not in the time allowed with hordes of camel warriors gunning for them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Then there were several tactical blunders. Counting on the camelry as being impetuous and they were not. Which meant they could maneuver normally. Which defeated my attempt to get around their flank. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">I miss-measured an evade route, leading to a LC leaving the board.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">I was counting on a ZOC to pin part of the camel line, which was fine until they just charged, negating the pin, and then had rear units available for a charge in the flank.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">On turn 2, he charged with a couple of caravans, I evaded my whole line of horse. I did that to keep the formation together. But by doing so, it freed up command points which were used in successful rallies of 3 disordered camels.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Then there was luck. Several of my evades ran long. The charging camels stopped at 2 UD's. Putting my horse archers so far back, they couldn't return for another round of shooting. There was one turn where I literally only had 1 shot. If you have 19 units with bows and only 1 shot. You are losing</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">* lost to <i>Western history. </i> I'm sure the Indians know who they are, but western historians are too lazy to read the script. As far as the Thracians go, they probably had the names of the Indian commanders as well. And wrote it down. But since it was not in written in Latin, the Romans didn't bother to translate it after they conquered Thrace either.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">** Some will say, "The Thracians never fought the Indians!" Well, that is as far as <i>we know</i>. See above. India was invaded by some blond haired nomadic tribe around 1000BC. They were described as fierce and riding in chariots. They probably were not Thracians, but who am I to say?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">***By final leg, I was referring to writing up 9 battle reports from Historicon. In 2022, I dropped the ball and only completed 2. So this year I dedicated myself to the task. My shrunk/image file now looks like this:</span></div>

I should not have been able to pull a win here. The Britto-Roman (is there a more awkward name than that?), had 20 to 19 advantage in combat troops, with a number of them of superior quality to mine. 6 Heavy Cavalry, 11 Heavy sword, some with impact, and a pair of impetuous foot. True, my guys had 2HW, and that cancels the armor advantage of the cavalry, but that only matters if I win the fight at all. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">On the left, the mission was to attract the cavalry, then survive as long as possible. Actually surviving was not considered an option. But fortune favored the bold, just as Brother Dief entered the fray. In the end, the count was 7 points lost for the Britto-Romans, including a gratuitous missile disorder, to 6 warriors lost. While a virtual tie, this should have been a crushing defeat for the Thracians.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The center just went to the Thracians favor. Lekaso lost three points, all just disordered units. Scoring 14 against the Brits. His command was the largest of the 3, having one extra warrior with seven, and had the only elite warriors, just two, in the army. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">He had an overlap on the the left against the main battleline, and eventually was able to convert that to a flank charge. But he also had a considerable amount of luck as well. On Turn 4 his line broke through the Brit line in two locations and was able to capitalize on that in turn 5 and 6.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">On the right flank, was what was expected. With a bit of luck favoring the Brits,, the Thracian line rapidly collapsed. The only saving grace was that the Brits were mostly either Heavy Swordsmen, or Unmaneuverable Medium Swordsmen. So they could capitalize the total blow out of Thracian line. And while I made the comment that with 66% casualties, Other Brother Dief decided to charge, that was in truth, his only option. The Brits infantry couldn't catch him as he raced past. Not until their reserve cavalry ran up the rear of the last tribe standing, then rolled a 1 to a my 6. Which John did not deserve. That was dice just poking him in the eye. I had already won the game and would have been happy to let his horse push my warriors into the sea, like their warriors the turn earlier.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><b><br /></b></span></div>Phil Gardockihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13213683478302437856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353863124716017429.post-17336753099750675002023-10-10T03:43:00.002-07:002023-10-10T03:43:38.763-07:00An Armload of Armenians<p><span style="font-size: xx-small;">From the Abyss of My Mind</span></p>

<div><b>The Forces</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Pyrrhus, King of Epirus and Ptolemy Soter are leading commands of
phalangites. They are both rated Brilliant in this game. The last
commander is Helenus, Pyrrhus's son, rated Ordinary and Included with
the Cavalry Command.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Romans are led by Constantine, a strategist, and two other commanders of excellent character but uncertain quality.<br />4 Heavy Cavalry, 2 are Impact, Elite (probably)<br />1 Light Cavalry, Javelin<br />3 Light Cavalry, Bow<br />4 Legionaries, Heavy Swordsmen, Impact<br />5 Auxilia, Medium Swordsmen, Impact<br />1 Bowmen<br />1 Light Infantry Bow<br />1 Velites, Light Infantry Javelin<br />1 Ballista, Integrated Light Arillery<br />Breakpoint...22</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pyrrhus is most famous because of his after action evaluation after his battle against the Romans near Asculum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Plutarch quoted him as saying, "Αν νικήσουμε σε μια ακόμη μάχη με τους Ρωμαίους, θα καταστραφούμε εντελώς."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Which is Greek to me, and probably to you as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wikipedia has the quote translated as, "If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined"</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since
the tournament organizer has a wicked sense of irony, he is placing me
against one of the Republican Roman armies in the field today. Not one
of the cavalry armies like Sassanid, not one of the 5 Seleucids, or the 2
Palmyrans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I better get used to it, the pattern will continue.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Display Conventions:</b>
When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or "Ωχ!" or "Heus!", this
implies a disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some
value change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for
strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for
unreliable. For troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other
abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2
Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md
Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract,
Pa Pavise, LI, Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear,
Heavy Spearmen. I tend not to point out Light Infantry, as it clutters
the pictures for no real value.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately
capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the
game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game
values for the commanders.</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any vagueness or inaccuracies in the descriptions is to be considered is to be considered Fog of War, and is part of the fun.</p>

<p><b>Venue</b>: <a href="https://www.lancasterconventioncenter.com/">Lancaster County Convention Center.</a><br /> <b>Event</b>: <a href="https://www.hmgs.org/mpage/HconFuture">Historicon 2023!</a> <br /><b>Theme</b>: Classic Age, Round 2<br /><b>Players</b>: Phil Gardocki running Pyrrhic, list 44<br /> Lou Cardinale running Late Imperial, list 87<br /><b>Game System:</b> L'Art de la Guerre, 25mm, 200 points per side. <br /><b>Font</b>: Times New Roman</p>
<div><b> <br /></b></div>
<div><b>The Forces</b></div>
<div>Pyrrhus, King of Epirus and Ptolemy Soter are leading commands of
phalangites. They are both rated Brilliant in this game. The last
commander is Helenus, Pyrrhus's son, rated Ordinary and Included with
the Cavalry Command.</div>

Various Light Infantry with bow, javelin or sling<br />2 Xystophoroi, Heavy Cavalry, Impact, Elite<br />2 Greek Heavy Cavalry<br />2 Thracian Light Cavalry, Javelin <br />Breakpoint...23</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Pyrrhus is most famous because of his after action evaluation after his battle against the Romans near Asculum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Plutarch quoted him as saying, "Αν νικήσουμε σε μια ακόμη μάχη με τους Ρωμαίους, θα καταστραφούμε εντελώς."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Which is Greek to me, and probably to you as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wikipedia has the quote translated as, "If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined"</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since
the tournament organizer has a wicked sense of irony, he is placing me
now against another one of the Roman armies in the field today. Not one
of the cavalry armies like Sassanid, not one of the 5 Selucids, or the 2
Palmyrans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I better get used to it, the pattern will continue.</p>
<div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Display Conventions:</b>
When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or "Ωχ!" or "Heus!", this
implies a disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some
value change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for
strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for
unreliable. For troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other
abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2
Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md
Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract,
Pa Pavise, LI, Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear,
Heavy Spearmen. I tend not to point out Light Infantry, as it clutters
the pictures for no real value.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately
capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the
game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game
values for the commanders.</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any vagueness or inaccuracies in the descriptions is to be considered is to be considered Fog of War, and is part of the fun.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Board:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Pyrrhus wins the initiative and elects to attack in the plains.</div>

Ending at 23-21.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">What went wrong?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">First give credit to Lou. His plan was better executed than mine. Even though it was the same basic plan, Sweep right and hold the center. His army was better built for that job. His right had 8 units of faster MI/LMI, mine were all pike and heavy spear. Which also meant by the time my right did sweep the right flank, it was not as able to turn to flank the center.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, his joint connecting his right from center was a pair of impact cavalry. Which, in the end was able to run up my center line for the final points. Mine was just more pike. They were just about to into the legions rear. But a turn to late.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But in the end, it was the geometry. When he canted his line, it delayed my pike attack by a turn. Another turn that allowed his ballista to fire, eventually to good effect.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I should have done when that happened, was cant my line while the phalanx was still beyond 4. Then do the approach. It was still a turn delayed, but a turn out of range of the ballista. Then the approach would have been one, and charge.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b><br /></b></div>Phil Gardockihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13213683478302437856noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3353863124716017429.post-39349880003368915132023-09-19T04:30:00.001-07:002023-09-20T03:47:28.272-07:00A Pyrolyzed* of Pyrrhics<p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<p><b>Venue</b>: <a href="https://www.lancasterconventioncenter.com/">Lancaster County Convention Center.</a><br /> <b>Event</b>: <a href="https://www.hmgs.org/mpage/HconFuture">Historicon 2023!</a> <br /><b>Theme</b>: Classic Age, Round 1<br /><b>Players</b>: Phil Gardocki running Pyrrhic, list 44<br /> Joe Alberti running Republican Roman, List 53<br /><b>Game System:</b> L'Art de la Guerre, 25mm, 200 points per side. <br /><b>Font</b>: Times New Roman</p>
<div>Time to break out the heavy metal with the 25mm figures. This is the first game ever I played with these figures. I acquired them as Hoplites, and remounted 96 as pike.</div>
<div><b> <br /></b></div>
<div><b>The Forces</b></div>
<div>Pyrrhus, King of Epirus and Ptolemy Soter are leading commands of phalangites. They are both rated Brilliant in this game. The last commander is Helenus, Pyrrhus's son, rated Ordinary and Included with the Cavalry Command.</div>
<div>2 Taxis of Hypaspist, Pike, Elite<br />6 Taxis of Pike<br />2 Mercinary Hoplites<br />7 Rhodians, Illyrians, Cretans. Various Light Infantry with bow, javelin or sling<br />2 Xystophoroi, Heavy Cavalry, Impact, Elite<br />2 Greek Heavy Cavalry<br />2 Thracian Light Cavalry, Javelin <br />Breakpoint...23</div>
<p>The 7th and 9th Legions are led by commanders of excellent character but uncertain quality.<br />4 Alares, Heavy Cavalry<br />2 Light Cavalry<br />10 Legionaries, Heavy Swordsmen, Impact, some armored. <br />2 Triarii, Heavy Spearmen, Armor, Elite.<br />2 Velites, Light Infantry Javelin<br />Breakpoint...22</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pyrrhus is most famous because of his after action evaluation after his battle against the Romans near Asculum.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Plutarch quoted him as saying, "Αν νικήσουμε σε μια ακόμη μάχη με τους Ρωμαίους, θα καταστραφούμε εντελώς."</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Which is Greek to me, and probably to you as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wikipedia has the quote translated as, "If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined"</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since the tournament organizer has a wicked sense of irony, he is placing me against one of the Republican Roman armies in the field today. Not one of the cavalry armies like Sassanid, not one of the 5 Selucids, or the 2 Palmyrans.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I better get used to it, the pattern will continue.</p>
<div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Display Conventions:</b> When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or "Ωχ!" or "Heus!", this implies a disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some value change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for unreliable. For troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2 Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract, Pa Pavise, LI, Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear, Heavy Spearmen. I tend not to point out Light Infantry, as it clutters the pictures for no real value.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Inappropriately capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game values for the commanders.</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Any vagueness or inaccuracies in the descriptions is to be considered is to be considered Fog of War, and is part of the fun.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Board:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Pyrrhus wins the initiative and elects to attack in the plains.</div>
<br /> <b>Deployment: </b></div>

<p><b>Venue</b>: <a href="https://www.lancasterconventioncenter.com/">Lancaster County Convention Center.</a><br /> <b>Event</b>: <a href="https://www.hmgs.org/mpage/HconFuture">Historicon 2023!</a> <br /><b>Theme</b>: Pre Columbian America, Round 3.<br /><b>Players</b>: Phil Gardocki running Aztec, list 289<br /> Steve Roper running Aztec, also list 289<br /><b>Game System:</b> L'Art de la Guerre, 15mm, 200 points per side. <br /><b>Font</b>: Georgia Normal<br /><br /><b>The Forces:</b><br />The Aztecs are led by Larryzotl, the Brilliant, his nearly as Brilliant brother, Darrylzuma, and their Competent Brother, Spare-Darrylzuma<br />6 Otami or Cuachic, Medium Swordsmen, impetuous, 2 are Elite<br />4 Knights, Medium swordsmen, Impact, Elite<br />12 Warriors, Medium Swordsmen, Atlatl<br />6 Slingers, Light Infantry, Sling<br />Breakpoint...28</p>
<p>The rebel Aztecs are led by two Competent and one Ordinary commanders. Their names are known only to the gods as they were removed from all stone etching.<br />8 Knights, Medium swordsmen, Impact, Elite<br />2 Cuachic, Medium Swordsmen, impetuous, Elite<br />4 Otami, Medium Swordsmen, impetuous, Elite<br />9 Warriors, Medium Swordsmen<br />5 Warriors, Medium Swordsmen, Mediocre<br />2 Slingers, Light Infantry, Sling<br />Breakpoint...30</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Steve did quite a job of min/maxing his army. 14 Elites or Impetuous units, 5 Mediocre, with only 2 lights, and he still managed to have more units than me. This is compared to my 10 Elites or Impetuous. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, he concentrated his shock troops in a single command, while another command has 6 Knights. Compared to my organization of bolstering my warriors.</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<p><b>Display Conventions:</b> When you see a word bubble like "Ouch!" or "Axax!" or "Jaj!", this implies a disorder from missiles. Letters in parenthesis represent some value change for the specific unit. For commanders it is s for strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent and o for Ordinary, u for unreliable. For troops it is e for Elite, and m for Mediocre. Other abbreviations, Hvy Heavy, XB Crossbow, LB, Longbow, Jav Javelin, 2HW 2 Handed Weapons, B Bow, Kn Knight, HKn Heavy Knight, HC Heavy Cavalry, Md Medium, Sgt Sergeants, LC Light Cavalry, Chr Chariot, Cat Cataphract, Pa Pavise, LI, Light Infantry, HG Hand Gun, FKn Foot Knight, Hvy Spear, Heavy Spearmen. I tend not to point out Light Infantry, as it clutters the pictures for no real value.</p>
<p>Commanders are rated s for Strategist, b for Brilliant, c for Competent, o for Ordinary and u for Unreliable</p>
<p>Inappropriately capitalized words are used to highlight terms that are specific to the game. For example Brilliant, Competent and Ordinary have specific game values for the commanders. </p>
<p>"<b>XX</b>" implies a unit killed in that location on that turn.</p>
<p>Any vagueness or inaccuracies in the descriptions is to be considered is to be considered Fog of War, and is part of the fun.</p>
<div><b>The Board:</b></div>
<div>The Aztec win the initiative and elect to attack in the Plains.</div>
<br /> <b>Deployment: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Interesting, both players selected, but did not get, a coastal area. I suspect Steve wanted it due to the large number of mediocre troops. I wanted it to concentrate the quality troops.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Hopefully learning from my previous game, I put my reserve troops in the main battle line. Stretching it to 22 in length. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>

<p>The final score was 30 to 17. A win for the Aztecs!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I really can't say anything went wrong here. I pursued a weaker flank, and won. On the other flank, I delayed contact with superior forces, and slowed down the count of dead. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But I think I was helped by Steve's plan. If he had retreated his right, and avoided contact for a turn, the score would have been much tighter. Meso-American armies are not run often, and I think none of us realized just how brittle they are. You can't wait for that decisive moment. The army will be gone by then.<br /></p><p><br /></p>
