Description

Theoretically the scythed chariot would plow through infantry lines, cutting combatants in half or at least opening gaps in the line which could be exploited. It was difficult to get horses to charge into the tight phalanx formation of the Greek hoplites (infantry). The scythed chariot avoided this inherent problem for cavalry by using the scythe to cut into the formation even when the horses avoided the men. A disciplined army could diverge as the chariot approached, and then re-form quickly behind it, allowing the chariot to pass without causing many casualties. They were best suited against infantry in open flat country where the charioteers had room to maneuver.

Chariots also often had archers to allowed for mobile ranged attacks.

This set includes:

3 war chariots with different poses including archers riding the chariot.

Supported and unsupported versions

Versions with and without bases
