Victory for Pharaoh Gordosses over the Hatti. Pharaoh’s deployment was to keep a secure flank on his left with a concentration of Light Infantry backed up by Chariots with a Missile-heavy line of Heavy Archers in the left centre of the battleline and the bulk of the Spearmen on the right of the battleline. The Right Wing had a more concentrated mix of Chariots a with relatively fewer LI and supported by a small 24 figure Warband of Shaasu.

?

The Hittites spread their chariots pretty evenly between the 2 wings with a front line of the heavier 3 man chariots and the lighter, single archer Syrias/Canaanite types. Chariots units were able to interpenetrate.

?

The Hittite Guard anchored the right end of the Hittite battleline with the 48 figure Libyan Warband on the left end and the Hittite Foot and Achaeans in between.

?

In the end, the Egyptian Heavy Archers did softne up the Hittite battleline (notably the Hittite Guards) although the bowfire wasn’t quite as good as it could have been. On the Egyptian right wing a semi-stalemate set in. On the |Egyptian Left wing, the Light Infantry units effectively defused the Hittite Chariot attack and enabled the left end of the Egyptian battleline to outflank the Hittite Guards who broke and seeded the collapse of the Hittite battleline.

?

Overall, Pharaoh had the favour of the Gods with respect to the dice but not excessively so and the Hittites had a few notable instances of good fortune too (Fates Roll passes etc.).

?

In the absence of any Camels, the Chariots were more able to influence events but the battle was really decided by the Infantry battleline combats in which the Egyptian Spearmen, heavy archers and the Nubian Warband all contributed. On the Hittite side, the Achaeans performed well but the Libyans and the Hittite Foot proved vulnerable.
