 Something a bit different from the MeG battle reports. A couple of optional rules were in place, such as no weather or time of day and the chance to remove or adjust the position of terrain. My list was Corps 1: Cv(O)c CinC, 60 Wb(F), 2 Cv(O)c Corps 2 +3: Wb(F) SG, 10 Bw(I), 10 Ps(I) Corps 4: Cv(O)c AG, 13 Bd(F), 2 Ps(I) All Libyan commands had 2 Army Baggage (I) and the Sea Peoples AG, had 2 Command Baggage (I). 96ME in total.

The schiltrons in the front make these units almost impossible to dent if your opponent can't get on your flank or behind you, except against Skilled Shooters. 2 4s of Cavalry, Formed Loose, Charge Only Crossbow, Short Spear. These are in...
