DBA Early Crusaders vs Ayyubid Egyptian

Greetings!!! It's been far to long, but we've managed to have a game of DBA. To be fair the horrors are growing up & doing what teenagers do. Gaming has been non-existent, so what has MrF been up to? Creating, painting & SELLING DBA Armies, a shed load as well. Keeps an interest in the hobby & raises funds for other projects too. Though my eyesight & steady painting hand aren't what they used to be...old fart.

Anyway, Early Crusaders vs Ayyubid Egyptians, turned out to be a very short game indeed. Amy took the Early Crusaders, recently created by ourselves.

Jerusalem is in sight! God Wills It!

Mighty Ayyubids

Crusaders, Knights & Spears abound

Gotta love the Ayyubid Cavalry

Frankish Knights advance

Forward!

There's no open flank for the Light Cavalry

THUD! First blood to the Crusaders!

Kapow! Another Kill...

The battle is in full swing..

God Wills It! The road to Jerusalem is open....

Well MrF came on in the same old style, so Amy whooped him in the same old style.......

DBA Mamluks vs Crusaders

Mamluks advancing.

Back to basics now, DBA Battle between the Mamluks & Crusaders. Amy took the Crusaders & yours truly the swish Mamluks. History bit = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_Crusade

Amy took Knights, Spears & Bows. The Mamluks are Cavalry heavy, extra wise I went for Light Horse, Psiloi & Hordes to guard the camp.

Da Battlefield

1st turn, Mamluk Psiloi race for the Oasis.

Strangly Amy put her Spears on the flanks...

Amy's Knights came on in the same old style....

Boo! 4 Crusaders onto 2 Mamluks

1st Kill MAMLUKS!!! RaHoo!

The Mamluk Light Horse strike.

AAarrgh! The Crusaders push back the Mamluk

Amy's Hospitallers strike back...

Busy Battlefield, units colour coded for ease of view

The Crusaders make it two kills.

Oh Yea!!!!

A mistake by Amy, the countdown to the end begins...

Amy redoubles her efforts & even sends out some Knights to the camp

2-2 Game On!

In go the Crusaders Spears!

RRRaaargh! Crusader Power!

Back come the Mamluks...

Attack the Camp!

Yes!

Medieval Total War 2 moment.....

It's been along time since we've played standard DBA, that was a fun game. The Mamluks are one of my favourite armies, the Crusaders one of Amy's. It was a poor set-up by Amy at the start, obviously out of practice. Until the next time! Now a word from the latest addition to our 'Hound Pack'....

DBA Teutons vs Germans

Amy's Teutons at the top, Ze Germans at the bottom.

Grudge match & a half now. The Teutonic Grandmaster AMY has been giving me the verbals, 'I'm the best...blah blah blah', the gauntlet has been thrown down. So Holy Roman Emperor MrF, has accepted. The Teutons versus Ze Germans in a Medieval Monster Mash. Knights galore, this one will be a tough scrap....
