The Assyrians add to my limited army that started after the demise of the Wakefield shop. Strange title "Assyrian Army" as it is entirely of infantry!
Also of note are the ridiculously thin chariot wheels - I cannot believe they are up to the task of carrying four crew without breaking. Two of the model wheels were badly warped and will require pressing (if you look carefully at the PSV photo you can see the problem).
Along with my other 'chariot' armies (New Kingdom Egyptian, Sea Peoples, Medes & Trojans) they will languish for a while until I find a suitable set of rules.
My initial plan to convert the Egyptians and Trojans from Armati to Impetus have taken a jolt. Looking at the rules for handling chariots under Impetus resulted in a headache. Even one of the Impetus mags I read said that handling chariots was difficult under these rules.
I have played 'Pharoh Goes to War' and liked the way it handled chariots. Problem is they were designed to use the author's Assyrians & Egyptians and have never been developed since.
Somewhere in 'Slingshot' was a short series on the usage of chariots in warfare outlining their various roles according to type and period. Sadly I cannot find them - can anybody point me in the right direction?
Waterloo 1815 AP 035 - Roger's Rangers
http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.aspx?id=2047
Roger's Rangers will add to my small collection of French-Indian skirmish figures. The fourth figure on row 3 is shooting from a semi-prone position - which to me is completely useless. A dead figure could have been used as a marker - these 4 will go into the spares box.
Maybe - some day - I will get my hands on the BUM Roger's Rangers figures. I live in hope!
