Dont forget that chariots cause UNEASE in opponents. Small units, or
generals in chariots, scattered around supporting your troops might
just disable your opponent from charging impetuously, or make him
more likely to fail a waver test. As a fighting force, I do not find
2horse LCh much use against other Light Horse, but as a nuisance
(described above), they are great.

Then there is the 4 horse Heavy chariot with (I think I remember
correctly the Indian had six crew! - Lovely...except they changed the
rules so not all of them count). Very diffcult to beat in a frontal
charge, so if your opponent is stupid enough to let you in close
enough to charge, I beats about most things. The trouble is, it is
easy for your opponent to skimish against them and tire them out
first. So you have to think about supporting your heavy chariots with
other troops (I favour cavalry) who can get rid of any skirmishers
for you.

Well, all of that was true for 7th ed. I am still reading Warrior,
but I like what I see so far (well organised, good diagrams, cross
referencing)
