Product details

Background & context

Kavallerie war im klassischen Griechenland Nebensache - das Gelände taugte schlecht dafür, Pferde waren teuer und die Entscheidung fiel ohnehin in der Phalanx. Wer beritten diente, kam aus den vermögenden Schichten und kämpfte ohne Steigbügel, mit Wurfspießen statt schwerer Lanze. Wirklich starke Reiterei stellten erst Thessalien und Makedonien, die daraus unter Philipp und Alexander eine Angriffswaffe machten. Bis dahin blieb Griechenlands Reiterei bei Aufklärung, Plänkelei und Verfolgung.

On the tabletop

Light horsemen like these twelve handled scouting, skirmishing and pursuit in Greek armies, while the decision came in the phalanx. In games you circle the enemy with them, throw javelins into open flanks and keep hostile skirmishers away from your hoplites. They carry swords for close combat, but are better off avoiding heavy cavalry. With trumpeters as musicians they complement the heavy Macedonian and Greek cavalry of the Successor period.
