[List I/44] Neo-Babylonians, 620 BC

These are two DBA armies that I associate with their Midianite Bedouin allies to align them in BBDBA.

Army BBDBA complete (List I / 44b) Arable land, aggressiveness 1:
- 2 Generals in 4 Hp tanks Hch
- 2 Heavy Tanks Hch
- 4 Cavaliers Cv
- 8 Archers protected by rows of lancers 8Bw
- 2 Greek Hoplites archaic mercenaries Sp
- 2 Surveys 3Ax
- 4 Light Infantrymen Ps

Midianite Bedouin Allies (List I / 6b)

- 1 General on dromedary Cm
- 4 Meharists Cm
- 4 Javeliniers 3Ax
- 3 Light Infantrymen Ps

To every lord, all honor, his majesty Nabopolassar hero of the struggle against the Assyrians.



His son Nebuchadnezzar directed the chariot of the city.



The Babylonian and Chaldean archers (like "8Bw"), a rank of archers behind a rank of lancers. With version 3.0, this type of troop enjoys a +1 against the infantry when fighting Good land)





Close-up on one of these pads. I missed a figurine, I replaced it by the column of captives. The long captivity at Babylon begins for these Hebrew captives.


The auxiliaries, as well as the Chaldean and Aramean slingers, are preparing to secure the difficult terrain. The marshes of Shatt-el-Arab and the hills of Judea have no secrets for them.



Cavaliers (normally, it would seem that for Babylonians, she should ride bare horses and not wear armor but good ... it must be a catch of war).


Greek mercenaries. The hoplites bear, as it should at this time, the archaic cuirass of bronze. The designs of the hoplons are copied from representations of warriors wearing these cuirasses on various vases of this period.
