Pharaoh Strikes North: Tel Nebi Mend 1274BCE

[Jon Freitag]

As Pharaoh's Army marches north through Canaan on his annual campaigning against the Hittites, the Pharaoh's wing is stopped at the narrow passage between Lake Homs and Tel Nebi Mend. The heights of Tel Nebi Mend control passage of the ground falling away to the marshy banks of the lake. Seizing the high ground is imperative as it controls the road north as well as provide a source of water. Both armies must control the heights while attempting to destroy the enemy.

Egyptians and Hittites at it again in a battle fought in 28mm on a grid.
