This army has the lot; chariots, cavalry, Infantry and elephants.... Oh, and a Maiden Guard!<br /><br />Chrissie<br />xx<br /><br /><br /><br />Poacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729018997149272797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482288536688436146.post-4482958698124963052013-05-26T06:16:14.479-07:002013-05-26T06:16:14.479-07:00Hi Chrissie,

You can always add to the Assyrians over tme but wouldn't it be nice to have another army in hand to play against them? Think about doing "period consistent" opponents. The Parthians could have battled against the Late Romans, the Egyptians against the Assyrians, the Thebans...well, there are lots of city states like Sparta and Athens.<br />Be well and enjoy the summer!<br />Jerry<br />A/K/A The Celtic Curmudgeon<br />CelticCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687177512999052331noreply@blogger.com
