Oh! I thought the top chariot type was intended to equate with elephants. The Mycenaeans fought either with a long spear or a very heavy close in armour...
This is one area that should really be looked at before A2 goes to print. Most people seem to agree that the present system does not work and is biased, or at...

Peter, if you send out a single ( all alone) deep army unit on a post pattern and it gets caught by cavalry that is your fault. I am talking about the visual...
Sorry Larry, but you couldn't be more wrong. Infantry was the queen of battle for such a long time, until the advent of the AFV, and I'm not talking the...

Kevin, I disagree Tercios and Swiss Halbidiers, IMO , are not representative of the average ancient infantry units. The superior MV and the ability to kill...
