Poles and Muscovites- small scenario

Polish Pancerni

 I opened up a scenario booklet and was looking at one of the scenarios- a holding action. A small force stopping a larger force from pushing thru their line of defence. I looked up the required forces and put the Muscovites on the table as the defenders and the Poles as the attackers.

The Muscovite position. On the southern side of the road- a unit of Nobles ( Dvor) a units of Boyar cavalry a streltsi shot unit, big gun and just off screen at the bottom, some cossack light cavalry.
To the north another Boyar cavalry unit, two units of Streltsi, one with shot only, the other as 'German' infantry- pike and shot. Their mission was to stop the Poles pushing along the road.

My new Vikings take the field...and lose...but my old Romans win.

 A couple of games from the last couple of months......

Ross was aware that I had finished my Vikings. As he has Byzantines, Normans and Muslim forces that are all from the same period- I took my army off to his place and found an army waiting for them!

What did I find? A Hamdanid Arab force - awaiting my plundering and rampaging Vikings.

Both from the same time period - mid 10th Century....but very different in composition!

My Vikings. Anchoring my left flank on some low hills.

Terrain

 I had an itch to make some terrain...but couldn't decide time frame or period...and then made the mistake of watching the old "The Mummy" movie  with Brendan Fraser...and couldn't resist......hmmm...Hamunaptra !!

Egyptian terrain it was!

Do I have any ancient Egyptians? No.

Crusaders and Fatimid Egyptians? No

Napoleonic French and Mamluks? No

So???

Well I do have a set of rules and some figures for an Osprey set call Gods and Mortals.....so Egyptian myths I guess. Close enough!
I didn't really have to 'make' anything. all of this was either 3D printing or aquarium supplies or columns for wedding cakes from Spotlight! Some glue, some paint, some sand and some MDF bases with a few other bits and pieces.

All the Egyptian style pieces sitting completed on my work mat.
