Un petit village tranquille, du moins jusque là, sous domination égyptienne. A small quiet, at least so far, village under Egyptian rule. ... |
Car à quelques 20 000 coudées royales de là, un détachement hittite est signalé. Because some 20 000 royal cubits away, a Hittite detachment is reported. |
Bonjour à tous!
Un petit voyage en 1280 av JC aujourd'hui...
Sethi 1er, alias Christophe, tente de reconquérir les royaumes de Syrie.
Car naguère, sous le reigne d'Akhénaton, l'influence du pays du Nil était bien plus grande...
Mais les Hittites de Muwatalli, que je dirige, ne l'entendent pas de cette oreille!
Hello everyone!
A trip in 1280 BC today ...
Sethi 1, aka Christopher, attempts to win again the kingdoms of Syria.
Because, under the reign of Akhenaten, the influence of the Nile country was much greater ...
But Muwatalli's Hittites , that I run, do not see it that way!

L'ennemi repéré, les chars égyptiens attendent le signal pour contrer les Hittites. The enemy spotted the Egyptian chariots await the signal to counter the Hittites. |
Et le signal du départ est donné...aujourd'hui l'Egypte combat l'ennemi Hittite. And the starting signal is given ... today Egypt will fight the Hittite enemy . |
Frondeurs en écran, chars légers en percussion, mon armée Hittite s'avance... Slingers screen, light chariots in percussion, my Hittite army is progressing... |
La carte au tour 4 : je vais tenter l'impact avec mes chars hittites...pas subtil mais faisable! Map in 4th turn : I will try impact with my Hittite chariots ... not subtle but doable! |
Tour 4 : mes chars face aux archers égyptiens...j'y perdrai de nombreux hommes vaillants! Tour 4: my chariots facing the Egyptian archers ... I will lose many valiant men! |
Le centre de la bataille : la première ligne égyptienne est fissurée...passons à la deuxième... The center of the battle: the first Egyptian line is cracked ... let's go to the second one ... |
Un mouvement tournant de quelques chars égyptiens...mon aile gauche est menacée... A turning movement of some Egyptian chariots... my left wing is threatened ... |
Tour 6 : résister sur ma gauche et enfoncer le centre, tel est le plan...toujours subtil! Turn 6: resist on my left and push the center, this is the plan ... once more subtle! |
Dès le coucher du soleil, les colonnes de rescapés se forment...l'armée égyptienne se retire. Once the sun set, columns of survivors are formed ... the Egyptian army withdraws. |
Merci, Thanks !
Phil.
Next post : peste et écorcheurs...plague and skinners.
Hittites contre les Egyptiens! bataille impressionnante, superbes figures et magnifique tableau de jeu . Mais cette fois les cartes sont le plus remarquable de votre rapport pour son originalité. Félicitations de la lointaine Republique Argentine!
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup Carlos, j'avoue que j'aime bien ces cartes, je voulais une petite touche d'originalité...
SupprimerSalutations de la lointaine France!
Great stuff!
RépondreSupprimerVery kind of you, thanks!
SupprimerFabulous report Phil. I love the situation maps, they really compliment the excellent looking table and figures :-)
RépondreSupprimerGlad you like them Paul...the 'French touch' for this report! Many thanks...
SupprimerLovely report Phil!
RépondreSupprimerMuch appreciated sir!
SupprimerNice! I do enjoy the Egyptian emphasis in this battle. I love their costumes, and etc. Viva the Pharaoh!! Thanks. (Even though he lost, he will fight again!)
RépondreSupprimerBTW: what is it the carpet carrier has got rolled up in his load? A Hittite spy?
Your intuition has not deceived, a Hittite spy, I think I'll keep this idea for a future post...Thanks Jay, always a pleasure!
SupprimerVery nice AAR! Especially nice to see a rarer era being played!
RépondreSupprimerYou're right, not enough played unfortunatly...agree with you! Many thanks...
SupprimerI do enjoy an Ancient battle - thank you, Phil!
RépondreSupprimerGood to see Pharaoh's arrogance humbled for once, although when he gets home, he'll probably put up some bas-reliefs showing his "great victory" over the vile Hittites!
You know what? My first idea was to finish with a bas-relief created with my figures...but I didn't manage to make the picture, too difficult... may be in a future post! Much appreciated comment as alaways sir...
SupprimerLove your report. This time your maps are just wonderful. They looks like just taken from the period. Great idea.
RépondreSupprimerYour figures are amazing! Great battle and great raport!
That's very sweet of you Bart, and maps were not easy this time, a big thank you!
SupprimerAnother splendid report - those Hittites always causing trouble.
RépondreSupprimerAnd one might think that this is not over! Thanks Ken...
SupprimerAn excellent report Phil!!
RépondreSupprimerCheers Ray!
SupprimerVery tasty, Phil. You've reawakened my interest in Bronze Age warfare.
RépondreSupprimerSo kind of you Dean...hope you'll paint something about it...
SupprimerFantastic storytelling. Ancient papyrus battle maps set the tone of battle.
RépondreSupprimerGlad you enjoyed my payprus Jonathan, thanks!
SupprimerVery good. I enjoyed that once again. Inspires me to get in to this era myself.
RépondreSupprimerHope you'll play this wonderful period Kurtus, thanks a lot...
SupprimerExcellent Phil. Lovely miniatures.
RépondreSupprimerCheers Rod!
SupprimerI really like this era, the chariots really give it some flavour, nice write up Phil.
RépondreSupprimerLove the chariots armies as well, so impressive! Thanks...
SupprimerBrilliant. Never played any thing earlier than 300BC, but after reading this AAR you may have tempted me to try some chariot action in the future! May I ask what rules do you use for your ancient games?
RépondreSupprimerHi Mark, it's a fast play system, link on the blog...the originality is that the combat factors change from the first round to the second ones, this showing the fatigue, armors, morale...but the whole rules are in French! I have started to translate, but I need more time! Thanks...
SupprimerExcellent report Phil! Lovely photos too!
RépondreSupprimerVery kind of you Rodger, thanks!
SupprimerFun report and pictures thanks Phil! Liked the Tents, baggage and village too!
RépondreSupprimerCheers David, one day may be, I'll fight against your beautiful chariots...
SupprimerI hope so. Will continue to buy Lottery tickets!
SupprimerSo do I...
SupprimerExcellent report as always Phil! Love the shot of the withdrawing Egyptians.
RépondreSupprimerCheers Jonas, glad you enjoyed!
Supprimerexcellent rapport comme d'habitude les figurines sont magnifiques dommage le pharaon a perdu !!
RépondreSupprimerFaut bien que les Hittites gagnent de temps en temps! Merci Spock...
SupprimerQuel beau CR, les cartes sont de toute beauté, le reste aussi d'ailleurs: Disons que c'est une p'hittite :-( défaite égyptienne pour une grande renommée historique!
RépondreSupprimerLudiquement
Tiens, faudrait que je la recase celle-là...j'espère que t'as pas de copyright dessus! Merci en tout cas...
SupprimerLove this period, beautiful collection of chariots! For poor souls like me, with a need for things in 28mm, I've heard that Warlord is launching Egyptians for the period soon.
RépondreSupprimerGo, go, 28mm Egyptian army could be amazing...looking forward to seing more!
SupprimerNice nice nice!!!
RépondreSupprimerMore quality work Phil. Excellent mate.
Very kind of you Paul, many thanks!

SupprimerInteresting battle raport and nice painted miniatures. Great work Phil :)
RépondreSupprimerGlad you enjoyed sir, thanks!
SupprimerI like it when you go exotic, Phil. The little chariots are so lovely!
RépondreSupprimerAren't they? Glad you liked them, I have just 'repainted' and 'rebased' them...for the fourth time! Thanks...
SupprimerJ'ADORE, la carte est terrible, la mise en peinture toujours aussi belle, et que dire de cette plume qui nous fait voyager !
RépondreSupprimerTrès sympa de ta part Frantz, un grand merci à toi...
SupprimerMagnifique travail, les minis sont impressionnantes! J´aime particulierement les chars, mais l´ensemble est merveilleux! Felicitations, a bientôt! :D

Bye
It's a great compliment coming from you Kike, your realisations are always stunning...a big thank you!
SupprimerVery nice job Phil, I tried to use that program you use for the grafix, had no idea how to use it lol
RépondreSupprimerI'm not surprised, this program is a little bit difficult to use, at least on the first times...courage! And thanks!
SupprimerGreat scenes ... a touch ironic that you are playing out past events in this region as current conflicts raged in the same region. I guess humans will never learn to stop making war.
RépondreSupprimerAgree with you, a beautiful and cursed region! Thanks for your kind words...
SupprimerGreat Biblical figures and battle! Thanks for sharing!
RépondreSupprimerGreetings
Peter
Very nice of you Peter, thanks a lot...
