Assyrians vs. New Kingdom Egyptians-Chariot Wars in 28mm Might Of Arms

Steve Bidwell and I played a good sized ancients game today at the Rat Palace Redux. He played New Kingdom Egyptians. I played Late Assyrians. We use our ancients "rules of choice" Might of Arms. We play 25/28mm figures only.  Here's some shots from the game.  My Assyrian collection is "classic" Hinchcliffe. I built this army in the early-mid 1980s. Steve Bidwell's collection is mostly Old Glory with some Hinchcliffe "classics" thrown in. There's nothing like a good, fast play ancients game. It actually took longer to put the figures on the table than it did to play.  

Here's some shots of the game. Enjoy

Sea Peoples and Egyptian infantry advancing

We played on an 8x6 table with 1500 points per player. I like the larger table and feel that 1500 points per player is do-able in an afternoon.  MoA facilitates the game by its clarity and straightforward mode of play.
