Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[RaphaelC]

Having used Elamite chariots with 3 bowmen, which benefit greatly from the Biblical Warrior chariot rules I was checking the archives and found this;

But the "point" (up to which I referred above), is really to be found in the Biblical Chariot Rules published in the Chariot Theme Update (available on this Forum at http://www.fourhorsemenenterprises.com/Biblical%20Warrior%20Playtest%202008.pdf).

This set of special rules is a comprehensive effort to get chariots "right" in the period and region covered by Biblical Warrior. Whether and how far to extend the rules to other armies and periods has been under discussion ... off and on ... for some time, with some of the early Chinese armies having been the leading contenders. Gallic are probably not the best candidate ... not least b/c (as Phil notes) they were used differently in Iron Age Europe than in the Bronze Age Near East ... but something to think about.

So, was it decided whether the chariot rules can be applied to other periods (I'm thinking of Ancient British LCh here)?

Thanks,

Currently we're not looking into that.

But, nothing is stopping anybody from trying this with other period chariots. If nothing else, it gives us some playtest feedback so that any decision is based on something other than us pondering.
