28mm Mycenaean Raid Skirmish Game

Having painted this beautiful Greek Trireme I had to use it for something...(actually the ship was a gift from Grand Manner grand master Dave Bodley. Well I chose to use it for my skirmish collection of Trojan period stuff and devised a raid on a Phoenician settlement by Mycenaeans warriors with the Egyptians allied to the settlers.
Below we see the Terrors from the sea heading straight for the village for plunder ,but the cry has gone out for aid from an Egyptian camp close by.

The Greeks ready themselves to storm ashore

The Egyptians have got the work and their Lord leads them out

The Phoenicians take up heir arms to meet the threat


The Mycenaeans land and attack the villagers with archer cover from the ship

After a heroic fight the villagers are finally pushed back through the village


As the Egyptians arrive in the village it seems too late as the Greeks have taken the supplies and live stock and are taking them back to their ship


Finally with all aboard and their booty the Achaeans set sail with minimal losses and an angry Egyptian Lord looking on
