I/16 HITTITE OLD & MIDDLE KINGDOM 1680 BC - 1380 BC

This list covers the Hittite kingdom from its foundation by the semi-legendary Labarnas (possibly around 1680 BC) until the accession of Suppiluliumas around 1380 BC. Proper 2-horse 2crew chariots (LCh) were now in use. The bulk of the infantry were spearmen, some permanently embodied, others called up when needed. Records imply that most now had light shields. Traditionalists without shields are 3Pk. References: Armies of the Ancient Near East N. Stillman & N. Tallis, Warfare in the Ancient Near East to 1600BC W. J.
