We had another bash with Basic Impetus this morning, with Peter fielding the Hittites against my New Kingdom Egyptians. I was hoping for a different result than last time, and I got it.
It was worse.
Waaayy worse.
I came acropper once one of my chariot units got pinned down on my left flank by some light infantry.
My infantry in the centre should have been a match for their Hittite counterparts, but clearly no-one had told them that and they struggled to hold the centre.
The Hittite chariots proved decisive, using missile attacks to weaken my infantry before charging home, and continuing on after using my troops as speed bumps.
My general tried to do the same and got stuck and mobbed.
Eventually, my casualties piled up and the army reached and quickly passed its break point, survivors fleeing the field after only breaking a single Hittite unit.
A disappointing result, but a fun game, which is all that matters.
