LCh throw alot of dice but at poor odds against non-skirmish troops. HCh can be tough but vulnerable with only 4 bases. When HCh do well, you'll likely hear the loser complain that chariots fell out of use on X date and why are they so tough. Grognards =grumblers.

This army is dependent on the General to lead at the front line to also exploit gaps...<br /><br />The Kushites would or should have an even/balanced fight against Egyptians, Philistine and Later Hebrew but no chance against their feared enemy the Assyrians...to many Heavy Chariots!<br /><br />Phil Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369365598439913360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521207674659027649.post-8227753056303030712014-06-07T00:19:19.586-07:002014-06-07T00:19:19.586-07:00Thanks Mark! :o)
