For this go at Scenario 1 I used Portable Wargame rules with slight variations. Exhaustion Point was replaced with Rout Point at 50% loss of points, and Generals had Zero points but still added a bonus of plus one in combat.
The armies facing one another were Corinthia and Stygia (from Robert Howard's Hyboria). The scenery was there to break up an otherwise featureless plain and had no effect on the battle.
The Stygian Army (4 Infantry 1 Cavalry 1 Archer) had the initiative and moved forward aggressively. The Corinthian Army (3 Infantry 1 Cavalry 2 Archers) played more defensively.
Despite being on the defensive, the Corinthians were drawn down on their right and did some early damage to the Stygians.
The Sons of Set fought back and soon the losses on both sides appeared equal again.
The battle was on a knife edge, with the Stygian's being repulsed then attacking again
but in the end, it was the defensive tactics of the Corinthians that prevailed. The Stygian losses became too great, and they routed.
This is my least favourite of Neil Thomas's Scenarios though it still proved to be a fun little game!
