The Leader of the "Sea Peoples" army. We really did not have a "Sea Peoples" army - although Jay Stribling has vowed to paint one. So, the part of the "Sea Peoples" was played by our Assyrian army.
We played this at Fondren Presbyterian Church in Jackson Mississippi on February 20, 2001. We used our own Pharoh rides to War rules. Jay Stribling was the gamemaster for this game and he took part as the commander of the "Sea Peoples" fleet. The troops were Eric Teuber's old 20mm Scruby Ancient army, supplemented by some New Line design figures and some Irregular miniatures painted by Jay Stribling - about 25 years after the original figures were painted.

Another view of the Command chariot of the "Sea Peoples". Actually this is the same view as the one at the top of the page, but the camera settings were different.

The Egyptian commanders. From Left (in red shirt) Clay James, Sean Pitts, Jim Pitts. Two of the very nice Presbyterian Church women are in the background. They were working on a project in the fellowship hall that day, but kindly let us "play through."

Phil Young and Ed Sansing attack. Ed's comments: "I split my force and send 2 units of heavy chariots around the hill to try and gain the rear of the enemy."

The opposite end of our lines. Phil Young's commander is mixed with his chariot unit and the overall commander remains prudently behind his infantry

Sean Pitts' Egyptians move forward, eager to smite the foe!

Phil's units have charged Sean. Phil's chariots have hit one of Sean's infantry units. Sean's light chariots can be seen behind his infantry.

Ed Sansing's heavy archers engage some of Sean Pitts's archers. Both of these armies are composed of mainly missile troops, but the Assyrian (Sea Peoples) forces do have more heavy troops.

The ships converge. The Sea Peoples' ships eventually won in melee against the Egyptian warships.

Phil Young has pulled back to face Clay James and Ed Sansing's heavy chariots are in among Sean Pitts's infantry.

Reinforcements arrive for the Sea Peoples. Phil Young brings on a new command facing Clay James. The neat formation did not survive contact with the enemy!

Near the end some of Ed Sansing's heavy infantry attack. The black rings show a casualty. Infantry and cavalry take three hits before a base is reomved. Light chariots also are removed after three hits, but heavy chariots take 5 hits to "die."
So, who won this game?
The Sea Peoples did - barely. The points won by their fleet's overwhelming victory tipped the balance of the game to the Sea Peoples.
