New Kingdom Egyptians(14) vs Incas(274)
The very first time after painting these Egyptians some 25 years ago that they have been into battle, after rebasing for ADLG. Paul Frith's Incas may not be their natural enemies but it gave a surprisingly well-balanced and interesting game.
A better deployment from the Egyptian CinC; apart from failing to take due account of the gully I deployed!
From the Inca's viewpoint. The Egyptian encampment was scratchbuilt from the remnants of an old shirt!
The Inca CinC is carried into battle in his Beach Hut.
Meanwhile the Egyptian chariots advance to engage with fire.
A solid line of Egyptian Infantry with heavy infantry reserves to break through when needed
Colorful Incas
The left Inca refused echelon is under attack from the Egyptians. Multiple breakthroughs by impetuous Sherden warriors were made, but they couldn't be adequately exploited
A very close battle the Egyptians came within 3 cohesion points of defeating the Incas, but some good rallying in the last turn saved the Incas.
Result
A close run victory for the Incas
Lessons Learnt
- Light Chariots are very effective in combat against Mediums or lighter troops.
- If you are trying to breakthrough a line make sure that the commander has sufficient command points to commit the reserves and exploit any hole
- Be more aware of how difficult ground can cramp cavalry deployment and combat capability
