Game 1.  Tony took the Achaeans and I the Amazons.  I got to defend plus first actions.  Hero in the front, archer hidden on the flank.

Tony comes on in a clump.  My boss group activates the javelins who go tearing down the table.

I get the Hero up, then turnover.   Tony's 2 group activations pushes the pike up to my spear and a supporting line.

The Lad chases the girl, gets put on his ass----.

Push of pointy pikes.  Two pushed back, 1 dead 1 floored.

A grisly death (speared on reaction) causes a morale check and the priestess does a runner! 

I finally get the cavalry moving.

The Lad is dead (possibly of embarrassment)  here comes dad (red plume) to settle the score--.

Hurrah!  Giddy up!

The hero bounces off dad.  Pointy sticks poke.

Dad's too busy to order up a mass shooting, so missiles rain on my poor maiden.

Grind and poke.  The Amazons are outclassed and outnumbered.

The priestess makes her way back and helps at first.

The Hero is suffering, outclassed.

A pike pokes the priestess.  She gets the point dead to rights!  Morale for dead leader--.

The Achaeans hold the field.  One dead!

Game 2.  No, not swapsies!  Amazons for Tony vs Hades Horrible Horde!

Here come the girls!

Group shooting at the Hero, so -4.  No effect.  That takes 2 actions from the Gorgon.  A third causes a group action for the centaurs.  2 actions and they charge all over the shop.

One reaches the Priestess, lots of pluses!  She goes down - morale test.  Didn't expect that!  Now it gets a mess--.

First off, the morale results sends the Amazons scrambling for the edge.  Then the rest of the centaurs use up their move.  Amazons are tumbled.

Then the harpie-.

The Hero puts a centaur down hard.

A rider rallies. smashes another centaur.

The archers are lined up and move forward.

Harpie vs Hero.

Another group shot against the cavalry.  1 vs 6 - no effect!

The rider picks up her fellow survivor.  Then they're off!

The harpie is down again, but a centaur charges in.

The Hero rolls a 1, is combat 2 so total 3.  Centaur rolls 5, combat 2 +1 mounted vs infantry and +1 for dashing.  a gruesome death.  Ouch!

Hope you liked that.  Meets our needs for fast n furious ancients/fantasy rules.

Now for beyond the pointy stick!
