Product details

Background & context

The armies of the Old and Middle Kingdoms of Egypt existed before the introduction of the chariot and relied entirely on infantry. The foot soldiers were divided into two groups: the professional retainer warriors (Ahauty) and the conscripts, who were levied in times of war from the individual administrative districts of Egypt, the nomes. The close-quarters fighters - known as Menfat or shock troops - formed closed units together with archers, with the archers first softening up the enemy before the spear fighters advanced. These figures are also suitable for the intermediate periods as well as the early Second Intermediate Period up to the native 16th Dynasty of Upper Egypt.

On the tabletop

Before the chariot, an Egyptian army was made up almost entirely of foot soldiers, and spearmen like these eight figures with light spear and shield formed its battle line. In Hail Caesar you build the solid blocks of an Old or Middle Kingdom army from several such packs. They advance once your archers have weakened the enemy, and they hold the centre. The border forts at the Second Cataract, which the Middle Kingdom secured with troops of this kind, make a fitting backdrop.
