Warfare in the Age of the Chariot - A Module for Ancient Empires

The Late Bronze Age:
This module covers the campaigns of the Aegean peoples and their opponents of the late bronze age from the rise of the Hittite and Mycenaean Empires in the mid 14th Century BC to the collapse of the East Mediterranean civilizations into the dark ages of the Sea Peoples at the end of the 13th Century. This period coincides with the last surge of Imperial Egypt as the premiere military power of the region.

The module is called The Trojan Wars because Trojans participated in many of the memorable military actions. The age of bronze was symbolized by the supremacy of the battle chariot as the arbitrator of the fate of empires.

Contents:

- Over forty pages of rules for chariot warfare and scenarios for Megiddo and Kadesh.

- Easy to use charts and tables listing over one hundred different troop types, including historical leader ratings.

- Background and history of the wars and times, with the latest historical and archaeological interpretations.
