Kate Silverton in Time Commanders:Battle of Raphia [6/6]

*Watch in HQ* Kate Silverton appeared in this episode back in 2003. Time Commanders is a series of programmes made by Lion TV for BBC Two that ran for two seasons from 2003 to 2005.

It uses an edited version of the game engine behind the real-time strategy game Rome: Total War by the Creative Assembly to recreate famous battles of the ancient world.

The battles are replayed by 4-player teams from diverse backgrounds. The teams are unfamiliar with computer games, to make sure their gaming skills do not influence their success. After a brief introduction of the battle, including an overview of military units, terrain and available forces, the players have to develop a strategy and then deploy their forces. Two of the players are selected as generals, who will direct the battle and have access to a strategic map. The other two players are designated lieutenants, the units are indirectly controlled by the lieutenants, who issue commands to program assistants, who in turn use the game interface to control the units.

This woman gives off an air of unaccomplished success.

All credit has to go to the blond lieutenant. Kate was completely unaware of the battle, Raji's troops got wasted and Al Murray was completely pre-occupied with sending individual units on rear attacks.

"Celebrates in the traditional way by marrying his sister." Didn't know Ptolomy was a Targaryen.

@ss062 Go complain directly to him about his efforts at being creative. If you want everything so boring, then watch the 24 hour parliament channel.

give it a rest you guys when you first played rtw i bet you got owned

[ss062]

Why on earth does Aryeh use a cocktail shaker to demonstrate the cavalry movement at the end? I thought he was going to make some clever point with that, but he seems to just do it for the sake of it!

@Arjakuru to be fare to Raji, his troops went against the stronger right wing of the Seleucid army with the Silver Shield Pikemen.

@jeebs15 Agree. She looks very arrogant and seems to think she did everything, although she did NOTHING.
