British: SteveJ & Mike: 10 inf, 4 cav, 3 cannon
Egyptians: Jim: 14 inf, 6 cav, 1 mounted inf on camels, 4 cannon

The Egyptians have a line of entrenchments accross a plateau in front of their camp.

The British concentrated their forces on their right, with a pinning force in the centre & and a detachment on their left of the railway line & canal.

On the right, the British lancers defeated the Egyptian cavaly though only half their cavalry was still fit to continue to fight.
In the centre the British engaged at extreme range without decisive casualties to either side while the Egyptians moved some of their infantry to the left to reinforce the defnce of the camp.
On the far flank the British line overlapped the Egyptians allowing them to bring more rifles muskets to bear as they engaged the Egyptian infantry with better dice.
The Egyptian cavalry counterattacked the british cvalry there & initially had some success,  reaking one cavalry unit but evntually the whole Egyptian left broke.  

On the Egyptian left their victorious cavalryhas been left iso;ated by the collapse of the infantry while the British infantry advance on the camp. 

On the right the British have cross the canal with their cavalry & infantry still fit to fight. but the Egyprtians have deployed infantty & artillery to cause them them fall back over the escarpment safe from the artillery. In the centre, the had advanced to more effective range, but here got the worse of teh fire fight & fell back as the Egptians advanced to counterattack.
On the far flank the ring of rifles is decimating the defenders fo the camp, though the Egptians artillery stopped a cavalry attack on them.

In the centre, even the shaken British infnatry mustered enough firepower to make the Egyptians fall abck to their entrenchments.
On the left, the ring of rifles eventually broke enough of the defenders for teh Egyptians to fal below half strength & concede defeat.

The Brits only lost 2 units broken, though they had a lot shaken.  The forces were about equal in our points system, but their entranchments were a mixed blessing for the Egyptians as they concneded the initiative to the British, & they couldn't stop the overlap of their left rolling up their line.
