Guti vs Middle Assyrians - posted by John van den Hoeven, 9 April 2023

My Guti (Zagros Highlanders)played Alastairs Middle Assyrians yesterday in what ended up a very close game. My flank march came on fairly early and did well but it was not enough and in the end my left flank collapsed before I could do the same to Alastairs.

  John van den Hoeven those are lovely figures. I have a whole bunch of them from Brent Senior-Partridge’s estate. Some of them had a “bath” in paint stripper this afternoon.

      Many thanks for posting, John 

      Coincidentally, there was an interesting discussion on line about WWg(S). It turns out the Assyrian lists that include siege engines have notes in the lists that say these engines can only be deployed if the enemy has PF. That does not stop an Assyrian player choosing WWg(S) but it does mean they cannot be deployed if their opponent does have PF on the table.

        Vincent Cholewa Assyrians, any other armies that have WWg (S)? I have a Siege Tower to paint and that could be the start of an army?

          Ben Vartok the restriction is list specific. Check the notes at the end in the list you are planning

          Ben Vartok Communal Italians have WWg(S) and could be morphed from your Normans/Crusaders..........

        Vincent Cholewa There are a few things like this; another is the Arabo-Aramaic list, where artillery can only be deployed if PF are present. Or even naval needing an appropriate water feature.

        If the game designer wanted these (eg Wwg(s) etc) in the game, there shouldn't be such barriers to using them. Otherwise leave them in a siege/naval/campaign supplement.

        And these things look really cool.
