Hittites vs New Kingdom Egyptians ADLG Game

Armies close and shooting commmences


On Friday morning I played a solo ADLG game with my 15mm Hittites and New Kingdom Egyptians. Last year I painted some Red Copper Miniatures Hittite spearmen and Sea Peoples but hadn't got around to playing a game with them yet. The armies were two corps each of 150 points. The Hittites were the attackers and advanced and charged on both flanks with their chariots. Egyptian Sea Peoples allies charged in the centre, the Sherden and Pelset slowly but surely grinding down the Hittite spearmen. It was a hard fought game and both Hittite commanders were killed in melee. The Hittites continued fighting and were winning on the flanks with their chariots but losing in the centre with their infantry. Eventually they became demoralised, it was a close 18-13 result for the Egyptians.
