Division C

Captain Savage (Cypriot) defeats Rob123 (Egyptian) 60:29

Heavy chariots on both Cypriot wings managed to contain the Egyptian cavalry and the heavy spears and Phoenicians managed to rush the Egyptians archers before taking too many casualties. Some cypriot cavalry in the rear of the Egyptians put paid to the last central defence. Very exciting game.
