Excellent to see the S range figures waiting, like greyhounds in the slips, for the off – there are some very attractive figures amongst the Egyptians (for whom I have considerable nostalgia, having bought a few as a schoolboy) and especially the Assyrians.
I have only just realised (please tell Stephen that I have ‘done my homework’, as instructed !) that Charles Grant’s use of the Egyptian archers as several units of skirmishers may well have been a deliberate choice to represent the composition of a smallish advance guard (like leaving out Assyrian chariots).

Best of luck to both sides, Nick
