Victorian ADLG Tournament 2018

Last Sunday I took part in the League of Ancients' annual ancients tournament. Once again L'Art de la Guerre (ADLG) was used, with the armies restricted to 200 points from the Biblical and Classical Period lists.

I took a Scythian army (using the Saka options to represent the Yuezhi) consisting of:
Army Corps I
C-in-C General King Luo (Competent) (3)
4 Cataphract (Elite) (52)
2 Medium cavalry bow (Ordinary) (18)
2 Light cavalry bow (Ordinary) (12)

Army Corps II
Sub-General Prince Kumul (Ordinary) (0)
2 Medium cavalry bow (Ordinary) (18)
2 Light cavalry bow (Ordinary) (12)
4 Bowmen (Ordinary) (28)

Army Corps III
Ally (Mountain Indians) General Gerald (Competent) (3)
1 Elephant (Ordinary) (13)
2 Light cavalry javelin (Ordinary) (12)
3 Medium spearmen (Ordinary) (21)
1 Bowmen (Ordinary) (7)
1 Light infantry bow (Ordinary) (4)

The lists of armies taking part included:
Assyrian Empire and Sargonid (9) x2
Sea Peoples (24)
Mycenaean (Trojan) (30)
Seleucid (42)
Ptolemaic (43) x2
Pyrrhic (44)
Italian Tribes (Samnites) (47)
Camillan Roman (52)
Republican Roman (53)
Carthaginian (55)
Cyrenian Greek (58)
Galatian (72)
Early Arab (75)
Scythian (76) x2
Classical Indian (79)

In the weeks leading up to the tournament I repainted the foot archers and the cataphracts to add to the rest of the army I had painted (or re-painted) over the last year.

In the morning I faced Richard S's Ptolemaic and lost...

...followed by another loss in the afternoon game against James B's beautifully painted Carthaginians.

The cataphracts and the elephant were stand outs, but there was some poor match ups created on my part. The bowmen also shouldn't have been in one block. Overall though I like the army. Just need more games to improve my game.
