Ugarit uncovered

20 points of Uriah the Hittites Caananites vs the Mycenean Menace of Dr P.

The Caananites fielded heavy and light chariots, spearmen and a unit of Shassu Fierce foot.

The Sea Peoples used heavy chariots one with guest chariot runners, Fierce foot and bows.


Refugees from the Trojan war this lot.

Getting going.

The Caananitrs use their chariots to counter the enemy's.

A single unit of Ugarit's finest spearmen hold the flanl.  They see off the bows and Fierce foot.

The Shassu are thrown back battered.

But they see off the enemy Sherden

A Sea Peoples general reluctant to move.

Attrition on the chariots, and those chariot runners are a decisive factor in protecting their charges



But finally my general, Uriah the Ugarite, is routed.  His absence means failed Courage tests across the Ugarit host.


Ugarit's last chariot units both fail and retires battered.

About time to drive homewards.  Ugarit retires from the field to hide behind our walls.

The end point.  A bloody encounter all round  but a great looking battle.
