Dux Game 12 July 2017

 

Darius finally gets his revenge.

Darius ran a Land Raiders list. They we all mounted.

Attila ran the Sea Raiders list. There are no mounted available so all Attila’s troops were foot.

In the pictures Attila’s army is the closest. All references to left or right flanks are from Attila’s perspective.

Attila was the Defender. As such he selected the terrain.

Darius’ strategy was to get stuck in, hit with his mounted charging into the Sea Raiders ranks and then disengaging to charge again.

PICTURES.

Start

This shows the starting positions from Attila’s side.

The armies clash.

 Darius inflicts serious damage in the initial combats. His cavalry recoil so they can charge in again.

One of Attila’s units breaks and flees from the field.

Centre 7

Attila flanks one of the enemy mounted units and destroys it.

Centre 9

Another one of Attila’s units breaks as one of Darius mounted units has got in behind his line.

Centre 10

And Attila loses another one.

Centre 11

Attila is down to two units only. The foot Companions are the second from the bottom.

Centre 12

Darius charged in again and destroys Attila’s commander.

Centre 13

Game over.

Sad but true.

It must be said though that Darius had some very lucky early fights that furthered his cause

Darius gets his revenge. Yay!
