NEW KINGDOM EGYPTIANS
BBDBA DBA I/22

NEW KINGDOM EGYPT (Big Battle DBA - Kadesh)
This is my first Big Battle DBA Army. It's a pure 36 element I-22(a) New
Kingdom Egypt Army - no allies. All elements are named and arranged for a Battle of Kadesh Scenario.  All figures are 1/72 Plastics. Most are by Caesar (Taiwan) with a few exceptions. As the Army 22(a) has no options (except 3/4Bd), this triple Army list is as follows: 12x LCh, 12x4Bw, 9x4Bd, 3x2Ps - and 2x CF.

PHARAOH RAMESES II (1x LCh)

Ramses II himself, with his Driver ("Mennas") and his Horse Team
("Victory in Thebes" and "Mut is contended").

PHARAOH'S SQUADRON - 1xLCh(CiC),1x4Bd, 1x2Ps

Pharaoh Ramses II (GEN) himself, with blue War Crown and Body Guard:
Shardana mercenaries and Libu (Libyan) Scouts.

MEDJAY -2x4Bw

The Medjay, loyal mercenaries from Nubia, skillful scouts
and a kind of MP for the army.

DIVISION AMUN - 2xLCh, 2x4Bw, 2x4Bd

The first Division of the Army.  Chariots, some Elite Infantry including more Shardana mercenaries and (skin head) archer priests.

DIVISION RA - 2xLCh, 2x4Bw, 2x4Bd

The second Division of the Army. Hapless at Kadesh, they probably were no less professional than the other divisions.  Chariots, heavy Egyptian infantry, Egyptian & Nubian archers.

DIVISION PTAH - 2xLCh, 2x4Bw, 2x4Bd

The third Division of the Army. Hurried by the Vizier (GEN)it reached the battle field in time to drive the Hittites back.  Chariots, heavy Egyptian infantry, Egyptian & Canaanite archers.

DIVISION SETH - 2xLCh, 2x4Bw, 2x4Bd

The fourth Division of the Army. Coming late to the battle, but nevertheless a valuable reinforcement for a shaken army. Chariots, heavy Egyptian infantry, Egyptian & Nubian archers.

NA'ARIN - 2xLCh, 1x4Bw, 1x2Ps

The timely arrival of the Na'arin & Amurru task force saved the Day for the Pharaoh at a very critical moment.  A light and fast task force - Elite Light Chariots, Archers & Scouts.

AMURRU - 1xLCh, 1x4Bw, 1x2Ps

Important regional ally, accompanying the Na'Arin.  Maryannu Light Chariot, archers and scouts.

CAMP FOLLOWERS 2x CF

Left: Music and Standard Combo. Right: Royal Chroniclers, making sure, this Draw Battle counts as a "Glorious Victory" (Ramses II claimed to have won a great victory at Kadesh, but it seems by personal courage and the timely arrival of reinforcements he escaped defeat and turned the battle into a draw)
