Identifying figures in The Ancient War Game

Is not always easy and I really should have given a few comparisons before... So here's one that matches a figure to a battle, another that simply identifies a figure that was in an unexpected placee.

I should have included this picture when dealing with Corps XX - it's hard to tell, but I think that these are the figures listed in the Plataea game as Median Javelinmen (javelins and shield) - picture is from page 90.

This picture shows Airfix Egyptian conversions facing Garrison Assyrians - page 54. The Assyrian javelinmen were a puzzle for a while - Harry and I discussed them a few times until it became obvious. All the others are 20mm range - these are from the 25mm chariot! Further, pictures of them even appear on 21 and 49 - just wasn't thinking in terms of the 25mm range!
Sadly, I don't own any of these Assyrians or Egyptians...
