Jewish Revolt 66-135 AD
vs
Indian 546-599 AD with Hephthalite 350-570 AD allies

desertedfox brings an army as well suited as any to fight my list - lancers to charge, mounted and foot massed archers to shoot down my lightly protected men, elephants to trample them in melee, and light cavalry to corral my light infantry. Still, I have the indomitable spirit of 14 units of Zealots, the daunting firepower of 17 units of light slingers/archers, and the... uhm... presence of a mass of Irregular Foot with which to make my stand.

https://youtu.be/a97v2QIVaAE
Jewish Revolt 66-135AD
vs
Kingdom of Soissons 461-486AD with Germanic Foot Tribes 260-599AD allies

I deploy the entire army on one side of the map, so my skirmisher swarm can push forward and gain control of a ridge pocked by rough ground and a small forest. I then try to hold the line along the right and center, while the left continues forward to attempt to roll up the line...

https://youtu.be/r4BPWeCUTY8
Jewish Revolt 66-135AD
vs
Dacian 89-106AD with Sarmatian 25-375AD allies

I initially hold a defensive position, fearing the combination of lancers, light cavalry, and warbands, but come down to fight as my skirmishers begin to inflict disruptions. A desperate brawl follows in which the superior maneuverability of the zealots/irregular foot as opposed to warbands proves decisive.

The plan was to swing left and defeat Cunningcairn's right wing infantry while holding on my right against his hordes of lancers. Unfortunately he and his cavalry had other ideas...

vs Triarii
https://youtu.be/SozPY5LY3hQ
Jewish Revolt 66-135AD
vs
Roman 285-312AD with Bedouin 300-636AD allies

Triarii opens with a fearsome head on cavalry assault on my right wing, anchored on a hill. I spend the entire battle trying to recover momentum.

https://youtu.be/OcDTsJFbx1M
Jewish Revolt 66-135AD
vs
Pictish 210-476AD with Scots-Irish 50BC-476AD allies

My deployment zone is a large hill bounded by two mountains. Clearly, Nosy is too wily an opponent to attack such a position, but it does provide a secure base from which to send out my skirmishers, as the Zealots and Irregular Foot advance cautiously behind...

https://youtu.be/Oga2-RM5qI4
Jewish Revolt 66-135AD
vs
Germanic Horse Tribes 260-492AD with Dacian (Carpi) 107-380AD allies

Presented with absurdly favorable terrain, I elect to advance on my right and hold on my left. batesmotel attempts to avoid contact with my right, and instead concentrates on an all out assault on my left, which is anchored on a somewhat rocky hilltop. This is comparatively lightly held, but a mob of armed civilians, backed by skirmishers play a key part in preventing collapse.

New 7/19

vs CONSTANTINIX
https://youtu.be/29_1swWVXA8
Jewish Revolt 66-135AD
vs
Byzantine 551-578

Constantin occupies a seemingly impregnable defensive position. Undeterred, the Jewish army engages in a head on assault, attempting to use a marsh and forest as cover before a general melee breaks out.


And that concludes Late Antiquity Season 11. Final score was 7 wins 2 draws, which (a first for me) put me at first place in the section. The Jewish Revolt is formidable - 24pt slingers are a bargain, and the maximum number of skirmishers in large battles is 22 (!). Of course other armies can muster these sorts of numbers of missile troops, but those armies have to rely on Irregular Foot or cavalry to provide the melee element. The Jewish Revolt list splits it about half and half between Zealots and Irregular Foot. The Zealots are in fact vulnerable one on one vs tough units like Legionaries, Cataphracts, and Dismounted Armored Noble Lancers. But the numbers they can be fielded in, combined with their rough ground capability make them a potent and cost effective force.

Thanks as always to all of my opponents. Their friendliness and generosity have made this a consistently welcoming gaming community.

Glad you enjoyed. Don't worry, I just got hammered in my last 3 games in the Reconquista tournament. Sadly my Byzantium Endures round 1 opponent never started, but somehow I think it was something other than fear that kept him from the game ;)

Hi I guess you are taking a break from the digital league?

Hopefully you will still be producing some videos of other games?

I have entered Biblical, which is actually Silk Road, for season 12. I am also doing Chaos Tourney, Dividing the Spoils, Wars of Gods and Men, and will enter any Slitherine official tournaments, so there will be plenty to see.
