Of Gods And Mortals Amazon seige of Athens part 2.

Part 2 - and I have to admit to error in mathematics. BUT I've also finished a hell of a lot of figures, so I hope you enjoy! Full lists in the previous post.

Game 1. How to lose in a spectacular fashion. Here is the temple. Marsh at the top.

Drunk centaurs.  These are hard, northern Thracian bastards, not the soft, southern variety.  Never, ever invite to a social function.  Start of a new army for a certain god---.

Athens surrounds, and first turn one unit goes 1 move.  Move 2, one unit goes 1 move.  Spotting a trend?

The sides are marked 1-4 and a D4 + a D6 to determine position on the edge.  Ares turns up next to Athena, and promptly slaughters.  Oh good.  Morale roll.  Now the set up means I'm on the edge of the table.  I lose every single mortal unit.  Every one.  All.  Game over.  

Deep breath.

Game 2 went a bit different! I managed to get most forward before the rest turned up.

Here they come-  

Unable to reach Ares, Athena goes for the objective.  Blue dice = praying.

Ares kills Athena, I lose a few mortals.

Quick return.

Crash!  I forgot smoke--- all chariots burst into flame when crashed.  Well known historical fact.

Bully!

Athena attacks the centaurs and suffers a knock down result.

Alas Athena dies again and the game ends.

Prophecy dice.  Confidence is high!

The centaurs were, for once, sober!

One for Athena, go for a Hero.

The red dice denote table edge, not score.

Starting to look busy. 

Doh!One for a legend or god, then turnover.

Ares gets to my infantry.

Javelins join in.

Looking a bit busy!

They're running away!

Heroic defenders pushed off!

That's just being a bully!

Being dominant--

My last 4 mortals no more!  Game over!  Better prophecy dice would have helped!
