Assyrian army

[martin goddard]

Army number 3.  Middle east.

2 generals with beards and bulging eyes.
Chariots. 3 units. 2 veteran 1 elite. 2 shock   72 points
Armoured spearmen  3 units 75 points
Armoured bowmen 4 units  84 points
Auxiliary levy spear and shield  5 units   60 points
Foot skirmishers  6 units  42

TOTAL 303 points

Some thoughts on how to use this army

The chariots  should be grouped into 1 force/zone and try to smash a hole in the opponent near the game start.
Chariots will succumb to being shot at if they are not careful. The foot skirmishers will need to run hard in order to keep up.
The armoured bows and spears can form 2 heavy zones.
The levy spearmen. Lord knows.
Maybe make them into bowmen and harass the opponent from a nice rough hill.
Maybe form rear support.
Maybe get upgraded by the scenario.
Maybe just hide until near the game end and grab zones.

Chariots and levy will help with victory points.
