Ancient India: the Mauryan empire had its moment of glory, kicking out the Macedonians, and further earned its place in history when the emperor Asoka converted to Buddhism and began to prioritise ethical and humane government, but all good things come to an end. The rising kingdom of Shunga (led by Lee) today made a bid for hegemony. My control rolls were paralytic, so she nearly succeeded, but fortunately I won a number of shooting matches, and the good guys are still ruling.
Figures Newline, save for the cavalry - Pendraken - and the Maiden Guards - Magister Militum.
Below, the Mauryan elephants begin an inexorable advance with their chariots, while the Shungans wonder if an all-cavalry wing is wise in India.
It will not have escaped the notice of forum foodies that the temple of Kormashalgambadami has a somewhat fanciful name.
My cavalry swept Lee's away, but she wiped them out of the following round with her chariots.
Overhead shooting support from elephants was devastating. Must use it again.
Note the Padashah Chakravartin Ruler's pet kitty accompanying his elephant!
Looks like fun.
