I thought that Kassite was either a language isolate or grouped with Elamite, and not in the same familt as Hurrian and Urartian. I also understood that the Kassites were more likely to have been hill-tribesmen from the Zagros mountains than chariot-oriented people of the plains. There actually ...

As a result of this game, I have provisionally formed the following opinions concerning Field of Glory:

1. The game played out like one could plausibly belive a battle might unfold. The use of units rather than bases as the central focus made for a greater sense of realism than exists for DBM.
2 ...

The Bronze Age javelinmen were the first to enter the ploughed field in the centre of the table, where they were soon threatened by the Italian crossbowmen. Meanwhile, after I looked up the combat tables and realised that charging knights into a solid line of double-ranked spearmen was not ...

After having spend a month slowly working my way through the Field of Glory rules, I decided to finally put them to the test. Being light on gaming companions but heavy on assorted lead, I decided to put together 2 armies from my miscellany of figures and game it solo. My last tabletop gaming ...

I thought minima of 250 was an absolute maximum, which would be exceeded if the chariot minimum was increased. I note that Early Elamite of the same period (a fair comparison) also has a 4-chariot minimum.

Unlike many other Bronze Age empires, Kassite Babylonia worked on a provincial basis with ...

How's this? Kibutim and rasum are now reduced to non-compulsory special troops, maximum 1 unit each. I have replaced them in the "core troops" section with "regular infantry" taken straight out of the Amorite Kingdoms list (applicable to Middle Bronze Age Babylon). I have removed the offending ...

Thanks for the feedback, Ghaznavid. I was starting to fear that nobody cared about armies from the Bronze Age...

It is true that HF is rare or non-existent in many of the Bronze Age lists, and Superior troops also to a lesser extent, but there are notable exceptions. The Later Sumerian or Akkadian ...

On reflection, perhaps the following list would be preferable:
