	Description Edit \| History

From Command Magazine #7 - 1991. Also published in Command Magazine Japan #67 in 2005.

The battle between Egyptians and Hittites, 1285 BC. This game simulates the battle with a unique "chaotic" game system. Beautiful counters. Very Atmospheric war game.

Redeveloped as Day of the Chariot: Kadesh.
