New scenery! I spent a bit too long finishing it, so planning for this game was just-in-time.
As you've seen from my previous post all these are from Terrain 4 Games. Note the set covers a 3x3 table quite nicely.
Quick note on figures.
The locals are a mix of Museum Miniatures https://www.museumminiatures.co.uk/arab-hordes-female.html
I'm hoping more of this range gets upgraded like this one: https://www.museumminiatures.co.uk/indian-arab-hordes.html
Others are from the (now) old Croms Anvil range that's well worth a look: https://cpmodels.co.uk/product-category/15mm-ranges/croms-anvil/
The baddies are Splintered light. Note! These are the hounds, not the bigger beast: http://www.splinteredlightminis.com/sonsofset.html
I THINK Mek Mek comes from Battle Valor but I'm not sure. The obelisk is a piece of 32mm scenery from the Gods of Agyptus. But you could use one of the officers.
BTW, I added fine sand to the bases then realised I couldn't find me hairspray--.

Game 1 Mek Mek. Hound. 134. 8 Warriors 120 = 254
Vs She 76. 4 Guards 84. 8 Dirka 88 = 248 Problem with this force - no leader so all individual activations.
NEVER have we had a night of so many initiative swaps!
My Dirka's use reactions to trickle around the corner.Hound bounds up and makes the first kill.
At last Mek Mek gets a decent roll and the infantry surge forward.
A grisly death sends mine running.
She rushes forward starting a rally, but the hound--
Here come the more organised infantry to dash against my frail line.The hound dashes into my poor Dirka's
A good but confused melee, but the hound has opened the way for the infantry to poor through.
One guard does a good job of holding off, even pushing back Mek Mek.
The attackers have a line but I'm all spread out.
She's turn to give a gory death, the attack stalls.
The advance line has dispersed.The attackers regroup, dead on the roof look on.
They attack!Another gory death sends the defenders reeling.
Game 2
Quick change of scenery:
Bru Han & She 202. 2 Guards & 1 Dirka 52 = 252
Mek Mek 92. 4 hounds 168 = 260
Tony forms a line & sends the sneaky Dirka to hide on the flank.
Here they come!
The Dirka charges Mek Mek but gets repulsed.
She charges a hound and it's repulsed.She goes down to a hound!
So does he! Not to be outdone. Loss of leader causes morale--
A guard goes down to a free hack as he tries to retire.Now the hounds speed comes to the fore.
Game 3 Mek Mek 2 Hounds 174 5 Warriors 75 259
Vs Bru Han. 4 Guards 84. 4 Dirka 44 = 254
Once again a quick change:
Quandary - let them through, defend or break up?
A Dirka dashes through and kills a warrior! So my plan was to let slip the dogs of war through the gate to sew chaos. Doggy stopped and pushed back!
First a Dirka goes down - then a hound!
Guards burst through the Dirka line.
They meet with initial success, even knocking Mek Mek down!
A guard is down, but the big fella steps up.
Mek Mek strikes a guard down, a grisly death so morale-.
The guard strikes down his foe.
Now the invaders charge in, taking down the next to last guard.
Both sides regroup.
The brute dashes in and strikes down a warrior - gory death, it's the invaders turn to scatter!Another regroup.
A dessert standoff. Looking through slitted eyes, building musical tension.
Bodies everywhere & leaders face off.
Mek Mek is dead! It's all over--.Hope you enjoyed that. Using the online calculator it's very quick to generate the troops & work out variants. http://www.ganeshagames.net/army_builders/SBHbuilderRevised-v1217.html
