Early Period Infantry, New Kingdom Egyptians

The box-set contains 9 model soldiers including 1 officer, 4 assault troops (spearmen) and  4 shooters (bowmen).  These models are in the appearance of Egyptian infantry from the Middle Kingdom period to the battles of Ahmose, in the expulsion of the Hyksos, and to the battle of Megiddo (1457 B.C.E.).  Of course, at a pinch, they could be used as emergency levy in later periods.

At this early period, the distinctive head-cloth has not been adopted.  Instead, the soldiers wear a wig.  The apron protector has also not been introduced.  The shape of the shield is also different.  

The Egyptian army was divided into 4 components:  War Chariots, Royal Guards, Army Corps (central army), and Provincial Levy.  We will be issuing sets of all of the above in due course including the auxiliaries and enemies of Egypt.

Egyptian infantry were divided into two tactical divisions:  Assault shock troops (sword and spear) and Shooters (bow and arrow).
