This list covers the armies of the warrior Pharoahs after the introduction of the chariot into the Egyptian army and until the death of Rameses III. Chariot armour, when used, is considered much heavier than previously believed and the lightness of Egyptian chariot cars less relevant.
In short the Egyptian armoured charioteers were capable of standing up to enemy chariots in combat and some are shown in substantial body armour unsuited to a skirmish role
Royal Charioteers are now given the option to fight in close or open formation.
Egyptians were noted for saturation useage of bows and this option is now available.
LHI are now available in line with the earlier lists given in the rules.
