Oh. In that case, my squad, aside from the slingers, stand around for someone to come in range. If someone already is in range, my squad attacks them while the slingers rain death on the enemies far away.

Ah, sorry I'm just out of it. Okay, my slingers hang back to fire at the far away targets while the spearmen and infantry charge at the forces.

Egyptian skirmisher let loose javelins before they defend from the charge


...

you're hit by the rain of death in your shield leg but the other slinger is fine and kills a skirmisher


Jack gets a good stab before the Pike breaks, he reaches for his gladius, but a skirmisher slashes down his back


Aaron stabs a skirmisher in the gut, then blocks the slash from another



Peter stabs ones neck as he chokes on his blood and slides off the blade another slashes but he parries and is pushed back

The Nubian archers were mercenaries, and considered to be the most highly skilled of the Egyptian archers. The Nubians used recurve bows instead of the more simplistic curved bows that the other Egyptian archers used. The recurve bows were more accurate and had longer ranges than the curved bows, but the curved bows were easier to maintain and carry and thus were preferred by the majority of the regular Egyptian archers.
The normal infantrymen had spears, sometimes daggers, and big hide shields(the hide was stretched taut, they were very light but surprisingly resilient, plus waterproof), and no other armor.

Regular, "straight" or "curved" bow(basically just a longbow).

kay


your squad which is obviously in the army is going out to meet a new coming force, some odd people who come from the north in the place called Europe (not sure what they called it back then though) many have large spears which can kill a man from very far


you come upon the suspected army they have just disembarked the ships. after a short march men with slings fire at you, you quickly raise your shield and defend, after the General surveys what is happening he nods at an odd looking captain, he is obviously not of Egypt and wields native gear, a large sword with a round shield with odd dyes of green and red he wears face paint and a scraggly beard with soft leather. he doesn't seem accustomed to the heat


after a minute of slow marching in a defensive position he screams in a heavily accented egyptian "CHARGE!" the men surge forward as the bowmen fire along with yours

Rami: his arrow sails through a enemy warriors bronze helmet and he falls forward but the position is quickly filled


Kemneb: His arrow sails straight into the throat of one and he falls flailing creating a momentary hole in the phalanx, right where you are. (prefect 100)

Infantry: they get into the line and face against infantry with bronze armor and helmets with small round shields and spatha's



cookie if you can guess the enemy

THIS IS SPARTA!
Just kidding. They're Romans, unless I'm mistaken.

The Nubians were also usually better trained, but I digress.

Infantry: they get into the line and face against infantry with bronze armor and helmets with small round shields and spatha's

Lock shields and jabbing spears and advancing at the hole in the enemy phalanx.

Rami: his arrow sails through a enemy warriors bronze helmet and he falls forward but the position is quickly filled

He keeps shooting.

Kemneb: His arrow sails straight into the throat of one and he falls flailing creating a momentary hole in the phalanx, right where you are. (prefect 100)

Kem keeps shooting, and Amenhotep leads the infantrymen towards the gap in the enemy lines.

Carthage :P

also nubians in RTW are the militia


Djal&Shalam: they keep steadfast and stab the enemy, one man charges and knocks Shalam down


Bowmen: a hail of stones comes from the back of the army, many of the younger archers start to turn and gtfo


if they have any form of head or shield armor then they are fine, if not Rami is **** near killed while kem is unscathed



Amenoegyptname: you snap the spear of one of the phalanx soldiers and smash a mace into his shield, but he pushes back and trows you back. This one has an odd symbol on his armor not present on the other soldiers



sorry i had better writing but the **** thing suddenly quitted on me and erased everything i had

Hey, I'm back!

Peter advances forward after being pushed back and does a low sweep to knock down any enemies.

Aaron lunges at the other skirmisher.

Also, is Jack still able to fight?

The slingers, including me, stand ground and try the rain of death with some skirmishers far back.

Peter sweeps and knocks down another, but he breaks free, the skirmishers break and run, leaving only a wall of spears from Egyptian infantry, the foreign captain screams and runs at them, the men following suit


Jack is, just much slower to fire and unable to defend himself
