This is the (my) Syrian right, the light horse archers are out in front on the right followed by a unit of Syrian heavy cavalry and, on the opposite side of the river, a small unit of bodyguard cavalry:
The Syrian cavalry engages the oncoming Mongol hordes!
The Syrian cavalry runs away!
All of the figures were painted by Mark, the rules used are a much modified version of Fire and Fury adapted for the ancient and medieval periods.
Syrian OOB:
ReplyDeleteAmir's Mamluk bodyguard Heavy cavalry: 7 stands
2x Syrian Askar Heavy cavalry units@ 9 stands
Adath city Militia: 25 stands
al-Ashir nomad archers: 10 stands
Ghazi volunteer infantry: 12 stands
Turcoman light horse archers: 9 stands
1 CinC, 2 wing commanders
One stand is 2 figures, 1 figure is 20 men, so a 12 stand unit represents c500 troops.
Egyptian OOB:
ReplyDeleteCinC, 2 wing commanders
Egyptian Tabardar guard axemen: 12 stands
Egyptian foot archers: 16 stands
Ethiopian volunteer irregulars: 9 stands
Arab volunteers: 4 stands
Ghazi volunteer infantry: 12 stands
2x Mongal Mingan@ 16 stands HC/LC mixed regiments
Scenario was that the Amir of some unrecorded Syrian town had been found out supplying salt and oranges to the Franks without paying duties to the Ayyubid sultan (date c1280AD) and the Egyptians sent a punitive expedition to correct him in the error of his ways.
As this is all the figures I had painted so far (since Feb 2012) it was somewhat unbalanced against the Syrians, but at least it was a good run out of the rules!
Thanks for posting all the details.
