N.K Egyptians defend Thebes

Time my New Kingdom Egyptians were brought to the table for a few games. They are still being  completed but I can bring some points into play.  Once again the Libyans are raiding Thebes.  With the Hyksos still holding the Delta this will be a desert game against Lionel the Libyan and 20 points of his newly based 3/2/1 tribesmen.

The Egyptians

Light Maryannu Chariots with added chariot runners @5

Light Maryannu Chariots @4

1 group Sherden Guard @6

1 group spearman @5 including General Inpueb (Royal bastard born on a Tuesday) the new Pharoah's uncle.

1 group archers @4

The Libyans

1 group Fierce foot @4 including Big Chief of chiefs Lionel the Libyan

3 groups bowmen @4

2 groups skirmishers @2

The Game

The Libyans screen their Fierce foot using skirmishers

The Libyan General charioted up

And the view from over the table as the Pharoah's general deploys the regulars..

Egyptian chariots close the gap

The Maryannu bowmen only manage two sixes, but against these poorly protected Libyans that is a casualty.  Leather cloaks and penis sheaths against modern technology.

And on a -1 the skirmishers manage to retreat battered.

The Sherden guard do their thing and charge the Libyan's chariots, who countercharge.

Four hits vs ten

The Libyans retreat battered 

Pharoah's general and his chariot runners take on the Libyan bow.

Two hits vs eight

The Libyans are having a bad day.

The Libyan attempt to rally is a disaster.

Time for some Philistine action.

The Sherden guard remorselessly hunt down the Libyan chief.  He looks a little Hittite to me.

The heavy chariot of the Egyptian general hammers the fierce foot.  The armour difference is critical

On a minus six that just doesn't cut it as a Courage test.

End game

And the Egyptians open Ali's slave market for used Libyans.
