Achaean Chariot III contains 1 chariot (metal); 2 unarmoured horses (metal). The included models are metal and supplied as an unpainted tabletop kit. The Achaeans - also known as the Mycenaeans - were the dominant power of the Aegean Bronze Age, shaping early Greek history from the Late Minoan period to the end of the Bronze Age around 1200 BC. Chariots played a central role in the armies of this era: as transport for elite warriors and as mobile combat platforms, they often decided the outcome of battles.
