Early Dynastic Egypt

I'd like to try out "Old" Kingdom Egyptian under FoG. I don't think it'll be too controversial a list on the basis that it is simply a cut-down all-foot version of the New Kingdom beta-list . . . just adds a few more foot (in quantity) and removes all the chariots and "frilly" (= "useful" !) stuff.
Anyhows, I'd be keen to hear some feedback on the following.
Terrain as per New Kingdom (NKE) beta list, ie Developed and Agricultural only.
Generals and camp as per all armies, the rest of the list drawn heavily from the DBM list in terms of mix, numbers and types. The FoG type classifications are identical to the New Kingdom beta-list.
Archers as MF unprotected drilled average bow. BGs 6-8; 24-60.
'Close fighters' (etc) as MF protected drilled average light spear swordsmen. BGs 6-8; 6-60.
'Elite' light infantry as LF un/protected drilled average javelin/lght spear. BGs 4-8; 0-8.
Egyptian/Nubian light archers as LF unprotected un/drilled poor or average (or superior if nubian) bow. BGs 6-8; 6-18.
Arab/Libyan javelinmen as LF unprotected undrilled poor or average javelin/lght spear. BGs 6-8; 0-8.
Arab slingers as LF unprotected undrilled poor or average sling. BGs 4-6; 0-6.
Levy/'conscripts' as Mob unprotected undrilled poor. BGs 6-8/12; 6-40.
The rough guideline I used for numbers was to roughly double the maxima in the DBM lists; which seems to be what the NKE FoG beta-list seemed to do. Minima based on trying to maintain the 'feel' of the army. BG sizes are identical to the beta-NKE ones and where there were small DBM nos, I left these at a single BG (ish).
Whatdya reckon ??
