Apocryphal Well - The Battlefield

THE Egyptian and Assyrian advance guards met in the middle of the Waste of Garan, where lay a well surrounded by three low hills.

To the east and west were two larger hills, each surmounted by a clump of trees, but otherwise the "rough and uneven" ground - not sandy, note - was featureless, roads being conspicuous by their absence.

Charles Grant specifies that the hills around the well are low, which, under the rules I will be using - a modified version of Neil Thomas's biblical rules in Ancient & Medieval Wargaming - have no effect on movement.

But they still affect line-of-sight, and, in the first round of a melee, allow those on higher ground to roll an extra die per base.

The large hills on the east and west extremities of the battlefield are unlikely to come into play, but if by chance they do, they are only accessible to open-order infantry.

Otherwise the "rough and uneven" ground does not affect movement.
