Seemed like a good idea - Egyptian haven't had an outing in ages, likewise Kushites...
So, this one is basically a Kushite incursion into Egypt, possibly the incursion that led to the overthrow of the ruling Dynasty and founding of the Kushite 25th Dynasty. The defenders are the Amun Division.

| The scenario also lets me use my ancient Airfix Foreign Legion fort. It's rather old, having bought it when they first came out, and seems to have lost it's gate, but, can't have everything. |
 |
| First
sign of trouble is when a cavalry patrol rides back to the fort
screaming things like 'The Kushites are coming! The Kushites are coming! |
 |
| Now, the fort is there more as a customs house rather than somewhere designed to stop actual armies... |
 |
| I've set this one up length ways giving me a battlefield 6' long and 4' wide. The Nile forms a boundary quite simply A4 and A5 MDF sheets sprayed blue. As the battle proceeds I'll move the terrain/action up and down the table as required! |
 |
| The original idea was to use my Ptah Division as the Kushites, but then thought - well, got a perfectly good dedicated PB Kushite army so... |
 |
| The Kushite figures cover quite a range of 90s era Minifigs Egyptian/Blemye figures. The chariots are a reasonable paint job, infantry are mostly black undercoat and drybrushing - not sure, think the warband are actually supposed to be Old Kingdom Egyptians! |
Game looks great and the Airfix fort fits in very nicely indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to find a use for it and I didn't want to just be a decorative feature - the scenario is working well.
DeleteLovely looking game, particually the chariots. The airfix fort was possibly my favourite fort from the airfix range. Doddle to put together, enough space for the FLL bods to stand and not too tall that the bedouins couln´t Magic up a ladder to scale the walls.
ReplyDeleteIt's a useful fort - and surprisingly effective considering all I did was spray it white! I like chariots.
