See yonder! The dust clouds of an approaching army!

Not long now to the long promised refight of Grant's Apocryphal Well scenario. Due to the difference in unit sizes I have had to tinker about a bit with the armies the Great Man deployed, but it's worked out more or less the same in the figure totals. Hopefully the slight drop in Assyrian cavalry numbers will be balanced by the fact that they have a unit of horse archers instead of the javelin armed lights in the original.

I've also done a bit of fiddling with the "to hit" numbers to reflect the superior Assyrian armour of some of Ashur's troops, and done something similar with the Egyptian chariots to reflect their elite status.

 (S range Chariot and crew. I'm recycling photos a bit at the moment. My daughter took my camera to the High School prom and as yet I haven't been able to locate which of the myriad handbags she has hidden it in. Still, only another 17 to search...)
