Chandragupta 2 - Malayaketu 1

Another fine day of gaming. We’re back in India where the Mauryans are conducting a nightime sneak attack against the Nanda, who are encamped with the usual baggage train.

This situation is interesting as the Mauryan’s get to do “undetected” movement to get into position.

Here’s the situation after the first turn of undetected movement:

My opponent had a hard time figuring out how to move everything in good order, and it wasn’t until Turn 5 when his elephants made contact with Nanda Light Infantry on the out berm that we declared detection achieved.

We got through about 7 or 8 turns in roughly 3 hours, with only the last 2-3 turns seeing any action. Here’s where we wrapped it up for the evening:

Some notes:

• The detection roll can happen on every turn, just gets easier as the Mauryans get closer. We didn’t do this.

• Hero wounding on missiles, we forgot this as well.
