Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Greg Regets]

I have never had any trouble with them either, but have seen many players that
have. I have seen one break a SHK (PLEASE!!!!!!), seen them break Roman
Legionaries. I recall watching a battle once where four scythed chariots broke a
sixteen and two eight figure EIR Legionary units. Not long ago, my four Seleucid
chariots broke two 32 figure Frank HTW units.

I protest a weapon with so little historical success, that requires a plan to
defeat, at a cost of 24 points a throw. Perhaps I'm inane, but my only response
is bull-excrement. Every time I hear the mantra of historical accurate
simulations, I think of these things and die laughing.

I'm a Seleucid player, but it is my sincere hope that when Scott makes the new
lists for this period, he gives a player ONE scythed chariot, or at least no
more than two, and requires them to be in one body.

What do you mean about the ~###~# scythed chariots.

The seleucids did use them from time to time but after a pretty poor showing
(where they minced up their own troops) they became unpopular. I guess some
of the troops protested about the possibility of being killed by their own
weapons.

I have used them numerous times with not much effect apart from disrupting
the enemy line. The army facing them only has to be careful and after a
couple of bounds they are largely gone.

I was even unlucky enough to get one routing into my own cavalry just like
happened to the seleucids.

I think that they were mainly designed to distract the opposition, which is
what they do.

Expendables are 45 points. So shall any be in the Warrior Seleucid list.

>>>GREG>>> I must be missing something. Still looks like 24 points on page 95
to me.

Irr chariot with unarmed driver and two horses = 10
Two extra horses = 4
Scythes for horses = 8
Upgrade to A = 2



No one, and I repeat NO ONE will be looking at Classical and Imperial Warrior
harder than I will. Those lists are where 90% of our 'problems' lie. You
can relax about the Seleucids (or anyone else) having too many scythed
chariots (or pigs or cattle or war dogs...) in Warrior....

>>>GREG>>> Of that, I'm VERY glad. I hate my chicken-@#$% Seleucids so much
I'm going to sell them. When I play that army I feel like I should be buying a
ticket as a spectator. ~wink~

Thanks - but I played so little this past year, I didn't enter a single
tournament (!). So no invite for me, even if I could make it.

We should take this off-list, but how much are you looking for? Even sans
chariots, I still like the army . And as no-one other than me seems to
take the things, can they be that big a deal? :)
