Hittites vs NKEs

[Chris]

A fictional fight between Hittites and New Kingdom Egyptians using Tactica II rules.

The armies involved were fairly large, with a combined point value of 8,175. 
The total number of massed unit figures on the tabletop added up to 1,478.
Interestingly, the Hittites fielded more chariots than the Egyptians. 

The terrain was a fairly open but did have an oasis in the center.
The armies were deployed with chariots on the wings and some in reserve.
The foot formations occupied the center.

Action on the wings quickly developed, with the dice gods favoring the Hittites.
In the center, things took a little longer to develop but again, the advantage was with the Hittites.

Towards the end of the contest, there was a shift of luck towards the NKE army, but it was too little and too late.   
The victory and the comparatively flat and featureless field went to the Hittites.

Nice to see you Chris and as ever a nice big battle report

The victory and the comparatively flat and featureless field went to the Hittites.

You may say that, but even as we speak the Egyptian commander is inscribing accounts of his glorious victory on temple walls across Egypt.

Both sides produce an AAR, but the Hittites put theirs on small clay tablets and put them in a store room but the Egyptians go for painted in giant size on a temple walls. Pharaoh definitely wins the media war.

Interesting . . . I had never really considered post-battle propaganda or spin or accounts as factoring into the wargaming process.

The drafting of a report or blog post appears related, but not directly.

Wondering if some sort of process (not too complicated) might be developed for a campaign or at least series of battles wherein scribes and historians on staff write the source material for others?

Thanks again and cheers,
Chris
