Monday 12th - DBM - Lydian versus Early Aechemenid Persian
The terrain fell not entirely to my benefit but I could live with it. The Persians threw reasonable dice and pressed forward. My starting dice were 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 (luckily the 2 was for my allied command). The (movement) dice gods were not in our favour as I threw 1 - 1 - 3 - 4 on my next go.
Fighting dice were pretty even so no complaints there but on the last round of the night I had one broken command and looking at a 6:4 defeat. I only had to hold onto one last Lh not to loose half my army - guess what happened!
Well my deployment wasn't the best and my heart wasn't in the game from the start but did I deserve such a drubbing?
One minor niggle was Andy's exocet guided missiles. There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with Expendables under DBM. I have always thought of them as a 'point and go' weapon not a formation dance troop. Being able to manouvre them into the best possible position just feels at odds with reality! Maybe I should look at the DBMM rules to see if there have been any improvements.
