1/72 DBA I-42 Neo-Elamite Army (Part 1/2)
Dated: June 28, 2011
Hallo,
This is my DBA I-42 Neo-Elamite Army.
The Elamites lived in what is now Iran, although their origin is uncertain. Their Capital was Susa, later a Royal City of Persia. They fought many wars against Assyria. They repeatedly supported Babylonians in their rebellions against their Assyrian Oberlords.
The bulk of the Elamite Army were light archers, most on foot, but some beeing transported on special carts (kallapani).
These are treated as LCh//3Bw i DBA, meaning, the LCh may be substituted for a 3Bw during the game.
