DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

This is another "build a HotT army from outdated DBA army leftovers" army. My Early Hindus were changed in DBA v2.0 and I cannot get matching figures to create new elements, so I rebased the whole thing for HotT, got my elephants and chariots onto some deeper bases, touched up things here and there. But after looking at the way the army is composed, it looks like it might be a bit of a winner. Not a lot quick kills Knights, and Behemoths are some of the hardest troops in the whole game. We will have to see how it fares.

STATUS

8jun2002: two games in this morning, once as defender using my Generic Stronghold, victory against the Dwarven-Human alliance, apparently the forces of Duke Draken weren't sufficient to enable the Dwarves to invade psuedo-India. When i followed up my victory to conquer the dwarves, however, I was repulsed and in the end lost my General to combined dwarven musketry.

2may2002: got the bases painted and flocked and whole batch dullcoted (again.) So once I get a Stronghold built we're ready to rumble! I suppose I can use my "Generic" Stronghold until then....

2apr2002: the army has been re-based, but still needs that terminal problem corrected, painting and flocking of said bases.

BATTLES

None so far.
