My Last Game of DBM in the Essex Warriors 2015 Club Competition

Khurosanians v Early Mycenaean 

Today was a good day to die. I lost 10 -0 [or 30 - 2] due to a combination of my ally being unreliable - again and a selection of dreadful PIP dice rolls for the first four bounds. I must say I did have some brilliant shooting and combat rolls but it wasn't enough to keep the army together until the ally came on side. Its 1st three PIP rolls were 1, 1 and 3 and I did manage to get a 5 at one stage but most of the time the enemy were too close for me to take advantage of it.

The Mycenaeans were organised as follows:

							Cmd 1	Cmd 2	Cmd 3
1	C-in-C, Chariot Kn(F)	1	@	30	30		1
1-2	Sub-general, Chariot Kn(F)	2	@	30	60			1	1
6-16	Chariots, Kn(F) …	16	@	10	160		6	6	4
	… or Cv(O)	0	@	7	0
16-48	Line spearmen - up to half Reg Pk(I) …	12	@	3	36		6	6
	...remainder Reg Pk (X)	12	@	4	48		6	6
up to 1/2	Line archers, Reg Ps(O)	12	@	2	24		6	6
4-12	Archers, Irr Ps(O)…	0	@	2	0
	or Irr Bw(I)	6	@	3	18				6
0-12	Pisidians, Reg Ax(I)	0	@	2.5	0
0-8	Slingers, Irr Ps(O)	8	@	2	16				8
0-15	Libyans - up to 1/3 Irr Ps(O) …	0	@	2	0
	… or Irr Bw (I), …	0	@	3	0
	… rest Irr Ps(I) …	8	@	1	8				8
	… or Irr Ax(I)	0	@	2	0
	Total EE:	63		AP:	400		25	25	27
	Army BP:	31.5					22	22	19
							7.5	7.5	6.5

I managed to destroy 10 Kn F and 3 Ps O by the time my army broke = 18.25% of the enemy army. If it had been in a normal tournament setting the game would have timed out as a 5 -5 draw by the time would have been called. I did enjoy playing the game as it challenged my ability to survive and it also made a difference playing against a DBM Bk 1 army for a change.
