  It seems at the moment this period is having a lot of coverage in the wargames press, and somewhat a resurgence on the club scene.
I have four armies in 6mm, two in 25mm ,and one 15mm  in this era but none in 10mm, the only other 10mm manufacturer seems to be Magister militum but they seem a little overscale and a bit pricey.So can i have some please ,come i know you want to make some shiny new sporty chariots.

It'll be one we get to as we continue with the Ancients revamps, but it's quite far down the queue unfortunately.

  Well you do need someone to beat up the New kingdom and Hyksos,but i must say i am partial to the Sumerians, fair infantry,and chariots like asthmatic invalid cars with 4 ass power.

  Yes please, The Sumerians are a fav of mine,i have a 6mm ,25mm, and a 15mm army which i made from scratch,masters to casting.
But i can see how a 10mm one would fit in.
Plus the 15mm army was lots of hard work and took 18mths to complete.

A BIG thumbs up for the Sumerians.

Wulf

Other companies have done Sumerians - how about someone to fight against the Sumerians?

However, I'm not sure who that would be...  :-[

Orcs

 Yes i go with Wulf - there are other Summeriam ranges out there.  And to be fair they do not have that many opponents apart from Akkadians who are almost identical.

Suggest

Philistines
Hebrews
Hittites
Assyrians
Babalonians
Egyptians


Many ofthese will have generic troop types that can be used in more than one army.
