....but would that mean we would loose petrol garages, so where on earth would I buy flowers for my wife's birthday and where would I get a sausage roll on the way home from the pub when I am totally rat bothered? :o

Gary, i believe the heavy infantry and the archers are Black Tree Design. The rest i´m not sure but i think on the first pics of infantry they are foundry.
Subject to confirm by Lord Raglan.

Post by: Lord Raglan on July 16, 2021, 07:01:58 AM: Big game hunting in Ancient Egypt. Ancient wargaming has seen a decline in interest over the last few years, but I remain a big fan. Having always fancied a collection set around Pharaoh Thutmose III's reign, this is my gentle start into the period.

Having, several times, seen the Assyrian Lion hunt
displays in the British Museum, I have long had a
hankering to do similar.

Alas, the big game hunting reference is just a play on words. It simply refers to my preference for big battle games.

Really, is that the best negative comment you can come up with, you need to try harder mate.

LAF is not TMP, its a forum for people with positive attitudes, give it a try, it may enrich your wargaming experience 😘

Probably means upper in the sense of furthest North in the Delta rather than closest to the source, in this case anyway.

Great looking models non-the-less!

It all looks amazing. Given all the periods you are doing to such high quality and quantity, how come you have time to go to the pub? lol

Title: Re: Raglan's Chariot Wars
Post by: has.been on July 18, 2021, 09:45:46 AM: I have at least started looking at figure manufacturers,
all your fault Raglan! :D
10mm Cheap, but not enough types for the game.
15mm Wide selection of manufacturers.
May well go with this scale.
20mm Caesar do some packets of plastic.
Hard to get hold of in the UK
25mm Limited choice, some Hinchcliffe & Minifigs.
28mm Some gorgeous figures, especially Foundry,
but at almost £30 a chariot I doubt I'll go this way.

PS Sorry for disrupting your thread. :-X

Post by: Lord Raglan on July 25, 2021, 10:55:31 PM: Pharaoh Thutmose III - Widely considered a military genius by historians, he conducted at least 16 campaigns in 20 years Thutmose was an active expansionist ruler, sometimes called Egypt's greatest conqueror, with a recorded 350 cities captured during his reign.
