I got Andy a subscription to Command Magazine for his birthday. He really enjoyed it, and we got a chance to play Kadesh. I think it was one of the best Command games. I regret that we didn't get to play more of them.

I wouldn't mind doing some chariot clashes. GBOH has a new entry coming in this time period as well.

The Battle of Kadesh ~ around 1274BC
Between the Egyptians and Hitites located in modern day Syria.
Brief Summary: The battle is the result of the conquests of Ramsey II and his goal of increasing the egyptian empire to the size of the Tuthmosis kings many centuries before.
Due to a false reports says they hitites were hiding in terror of the egyptions (planted by the Hitites) Ramsey and his advanced guard seperated themselves from the egyptian main force in Ramseys urge to destroy the hitites. After torturing spies caught in his miss ramsey learns that he is about to be surrounded and destroyed by a larger hitite army he quickly orders his larger army to make haste to him. One of the divisions of that army was destroyed in there haste to rescue there pharoh while at the same time Ramseys advanced guard was under attack by hitite chariots. Facing personal death and possible capture Ramsey courageously leads multiple charges with his personal guards and some chariots against the attacking force using his lighter chariots and the eqyptian bow that had a greater distance then there opponents they tired out the hitite heavy chariots. Meawhile after routing the main egyptian force the hitites fell on the siege train and started looting and were woefully unprepaired for ramseys counter attack and were routed themselves.
This was a political but pyrhic victory for ramsey and he never captured Kadesh as planed.

This (or possibly Cortes: Conquest of the Aztecs, also Command) was the first hex-and-counter wargame I played that didn't have NATO symbols and black-on-single-colour counters. I barely understood that colourful counters were allowed
That's what I remember about Command magazine, they were different, colourful, and quick-play - and what I rediscover every so often, I have virtually the entire run, and still haven't played some! I still judge new games by how they shape up to Command games. Not that they were all so great - some of the new ones shape up better.

The classic XTR/Command game whose designer took the opportunity to return lots of stuff apparently pulled out of this one to create the new game from ATO (above).

1274 BC, Kadesh
This great little game with great, but tiny counters simulates the largest clash of chariots we do know of: some 5 000 vehicles, Hittites vs Egyptians.

Another magazine game on Kadesh. Is the upcoming ATO game a republishing of this one? I noticed the designer was the same.

I have two copies of this one. I got my first copy in trade. At the time it was a hot commodity. I got the second one on eBay for only a few bucks. I guess it cooled by then. What can I say, I am the Chariot Lord and am a sucker for chariot games.
