Re: new release E28: no ancient sets

Horse'n'musket

Incidentally, on the 'Assyrian enemies' thread: there seems to be a lack of Egyptian chariots out there and in production/for sale at present. The Ceasar set (ie: not the single chariot Pharaoh set, but the set with two standard war chariots) seems to be generally unobtainable. No chariots effectively means no Egyptian army.

You could substitute the Mitanni Chariots which are very similar and still available...

Re: ancient sets - Egyptian chariots

There are a few discissions online about pimping up the old Atlantic chariots.

Quite a few here, too. Personally I have a bunch of the original Atlantic chariots. I was planning to assemble them straight from the box, as I'm a wargamer rather than a dioramist, but I like the idea of relocating the wheels and axles. I do think they look much better than the old Greek chariots with their sloping, angular sides resembling no chariots I've ever seen pictures of, not even in movies.

I'd forgotten it was Caesar Miniatures which reissued the old Atlantics. Thanks for mentioning them, guys!

Re: ancient sets - Egyptian chariots

It wasn't caesar that reissued the egyptian chariots from Atlantic. That was done by Nexus, I believe and maybe someone else? Waterloo 1815?..

In any case, the Caesar chariots look nothing like the "one man fits" chariots from Atlantic.
