Early Carthaginians versus New Kingdom Egyptians

Chariots!  Time to run my Carthaginians (wonderfully painted by Mark Woods) against Dave's Egyptians.

This was going to be a tricky fight.

The early Carthaginians have an advantage in skirmishers, but little else.

A cautious start.

The Egyptians are sitting on their gentle hills. 

There's a wood in the centre and some broken ground on a flank.

Things are about to get started on the Carthaginian right flank where they have slingers!

They used to have some Numidian light horse as well,

and on the left some skirmishers.

Both have been vapourised by the enemy chariots.

However, the Carthaginian chariot betters its immediate opponent.

The Egyptian centre has advanced.

Flanks are secure, but the Punic citizens are about to be tested.

And they fail.

But there are still the Spanish mercenaries...

However, they are suffering from the Egyptian archers.

The centre combat pits some Punic citizens against the Egyptian commander's bodyguard.

On the right the Carthaginian commander in his chariot is closing in on the last enemy chariot.

But the Carthaginian infantry is defeated.

The Carthaginian general rides off, happy he had defeated the Egyptian chariots at least.
