“Another attempt to offset the decline in cavalry and find a new way of breaking open the phalanx was the war chariot, often with scythed wheels, which reappeared on Greek battlefields in the late fourth century. To judge by Herodotus (7.40.4) and Xenophon (Cyr. 8.3.15-18), scythed chariots never fe...

Forgot to mention I'm using a Windows computer, not an IOS device.

I have the same bug, and I am running the lattest patch. What can be done to fix it? I really want to finish the Entente game.

"Greek authors like Xenophon, who actually wrote from experience, not hearsay centuries later, did not have that kind of dismissive opinion." Sulla and Scipio speak from experience Chaeronea and Magnesia. Are Chaeronea and Magnesia hearsay? Or Caesar in Briton? Again your resort to this pe...

"You know, this is a really dumb rhetorical question. it's not different from, say" You only resort to this childishness because you have clearly lost the argument. "The funny thing in all of that is that chariots SUCK in the game." No they don't. Persian and Celtic chariots, in ...

"Antiochus had expected that they would throw the enemy into confusion, but for Livy it all was a "silly show." Placed in front, the horses were terrified by the shouts and missiles directed at them and bolted wildly, without bit or bridle. The battle, in fact, could not even begin un...

fogman did you even read my account of Battle of Arbela? The Macedonian skirmishers yanked the riders out of their chariots! Imagine skirmishers yanking knights of their mounts! Alexander's men did not even break a sweat. Again nothing said so far has shown that chariots were in anyway useful agains...

"1. The Seleucids (ie Macedonians/Greeks) used the scythed chariots. why would conquerors use the military technology of the vanquished unless they saw something the texts don't mention? you figure that out. were they all dumb? that would make for a fascinating thesis: on the dumbness of the Se...

PS "Meanwhile as Alexander moved forward the Persians sent their scythe-chariots into action against him, in the hope of throwing his line into confusion. But in this they were disappointed; for the chariots were no sooner off the mark then they were met by the missile weapons of the Agrianes a...

Mouser I don’t know how you can say you quotes come from the Warring States they do not. Read your own link! See: “The Tai Gong Six Teachings Jiang Ziya c. 1700 BCE – 1045 BCE Tai Gong Six Teachings Written by Jiang Taigong. He is the military advisor of King Wen and Kin Wu, helping them to defeat t...

The plain fact is that, by the time of the Greco-Persian wars, in the ancient Near East and Europe Chariots were only a novelty and no one took them seriously, which FoG does not represent. The Macedonians and Romans ate Persian and Celtic chariots for lunch. Mouser your quote comes from the second ...

When playing Commander TGW I got this error [C]:-1(global error):34: game\game_deployment.lua.447:attempt to index a nil value.

I have no idea how to fix it any techs have an answer?

“you're late to the chariot bashing party” Yes apparently I am. “Thought that the WRG miniature rules covered caltrops.” I did not know that. Do you mean FoG utilizes caltrops? In the thread linked to by fogman TheGrayMouser has a little tidbit on celtic chariots: “"In chariot fighting the Brit...

Tabletop game designers in implementing chariots should learn a little from Vegetius who in his De Re Militari has this to say with chariots: "The armed chariots used in war by Antiochus and Mithridates at first terrified the Romans, but they afterwards made a jest of them. As a chariot of this...

Why do table top war games so overrate chariots? This is not just FoG, but also older classics like “The Great Battles” series. From the time of Gaugamela till the Roman Invasion and occupation of Britain the Celts, Britons, Persians, Indians, Seleucids, Pontics etc all used chariots and all lost to...
