I wanted to have a game with the Seleucids after the recent army photos. Opponent wise, who could we have? Well after a mini debate between Jack & I, we plumped for one of the other Successor Armies, the Ptolemaics. Lots of Pike, Horsemen & Jumbos!
II/19c Seleucid 204-167BC
1x3Kn(Gen), 1x4Kn, 4x4Pk, 1xSCh, 1xEl, 1x3Cm, 3x2Ps
II/20c Ptolemaic 274-167BC
1x3Kn(Gen), 1x3Kn, 1x2Lh, 6x4Pk, 1xEl, 1x4Ax, 1x2Ps
-----------------------------------------
The Ptolemaics ready for Battle! 6 Pike & a Jumbo would form the centre.
-----------------------------------------
Ptolemaics & a rather nice Egyptian camp....

The battlefield & line of attacks.

The centre would see the most action. The Seleucid Scythed Chariot waits to pounce.

Close up of the 'Big Boyz'!

DOWN goes the Seleucid Jumbo! But the other combats fizzle out.

No! Jenny's combat rolls are spot on. First repulsing the Pike & then on their turn, attack the Jumbo!

The Seleucid General had a 'charmed life', somehow the 'Gods of Dice' shined down.

Combat positions at this point. The Ptolemaics push forward the Auxilia in support.

However the Ptolemaics have the most troops in the centre!
-----------------------------------------
At long last the 'Dice Gods' abandon the Seleucid General. The Score is now 2-2.

It's looking grim for the Seleucids & their evil 'Blondie masters'. One of the Ptolemaic Knights is pushed forward to block any support for the Seleucid centre. On the left the Seleucid Pike matches the Ptolemaic line.

Another good battle, lots of fun for everyone. Some of the moves may have been a bit dodgy, but both sides are happy. Pity the Seleucid Psiloi couldn't be better used. The Scythed Chariot did it's job though!
