Meles Mezgebu ordered the elephants each to be covered in a saddle cloth bearing a cross and a 6 foot high cross was carried on the back of each. This unit was paraded before the troops before battle was joined and the priests foretold that if only we trusted in the strength of Jesus Christ we would be victorious.
The army then deployed for battle. A WW lay on my left, with a BUA next
to it, a BUA to my right and in his deployment zone. The pagan gods showed
their inherant weaknesses straight away when the terrain dice
left his two RGo right on the flanks and the dunes on his base line.
His plan was to suck my Bd(F) forward onto the bait of the Bw huddled
up against the large BUA with the Ax occupying the Rgo and hitting my flanks
and Bw(I). The plan came unstuck because the RGo was out of command range
and he never had enough PIPs to push home any success against my Bw. Meanwhile
my Bd crashed into his Bw. It looked dangerous for me for a couple of turns
when I had a few push backs but little else
and his Ax played hell with my flanks, but God looked on his humble
subjects and pitied them and lo the dice did roll 6 and verily did continue
and He did curse the Blemmye dice and it did roll ones and twos and the
Bw did die in multitudes.
The Blemmye cavalry were on a flank march and came on at the right time but his attempt to ride down my Bw was wrecked on the rocky cliffs of the mighty 1 PIP curse, but to be fair I insisted on rolling bad for the Bw fire and failed to inflict much damage.
However, it was all over, with his big command broken and fleeing his Lionheart General decided all was not lost and attacked the flank elements of my Bd, but again his dice failed and I started pushing him back and eventually pushed him into the Red Sea.
