Slingers Are From Rhodes, Archers Are From Crete Photo List

This is a collection of photos from the Slingers Are From Rhodes... game. There's also a detailed decription available.

The venerable Timoleon commands the Friends of Feta, err, sorry, the Heroes of Hellas.

Castor downing one before the action starts.

Flower of Chivalry commander, Charles the Rash, ready to plug any gaps in the line with his knights.

Feudal longbows skulk in the woods.

Main feudal battleline.

Doughty halberdiers make up the infantry line.

Yves D'Fleur leads a host of mounted archers on a flanking expedition.

Greek cavalry guards the flank.

Initial setup viewed from a nearby recon satellite.

Initial setup.

The ruined temple is desired by both belligerents for various nefarious purposes.

First move - feudals edge closer.

Greeks follow suit. The sun is gleaming on their shiny, err, bases? I need to touch up those bases a bit...

Flower of Chivalry takes the temple.

A little action on the sidelines. Theseus and a band of centaurs is trying to lure the mounted archers into the woods.

Greek line can't quite make it to contact, the inevitable clash is postponed a bit.

Greek cavalry assaults the longbows. They'll be occupied in this little excercise for the rest of the game basically.

Catch me if you catch can...

First blood. Even though feudals got to shoot first, they managed to bungle all of their missile rolls, while greek arrows and stones find their marks with surprising accuracy.

Not ones to stand around waiting, the Flower of Chivalry decides to throw the greeks out of the temple.

Didn't expect this, did you? Theseus pulls out a couple of Dragon's teeth and soon the feudals are knee deep in the dead...

Alas, they feudals lose their resolve and flee the field! Yves D'Fleur is captured by vile skeletons!

Finally, the knights charge in.

The situation is pretty even...

No, no, the other left flank! Greeks decide to redeploy the hydra.

Mmm.... tasty halberdiers! Crunchy shell, soft and chewy center.

Centaurs and hoplites assault an isolated band of crossbowmen while the skeletons try to get out of the woods.

Scoreboard.

It's all over. Charles the Rash is flanked by the hydra and finally finished off by Spartan hoplites.

Game over, man, game over.

Resounding 1100-440 victory for the Heroes of Hellas!
