Seriously, which ones work? |

A lot depends on your assumptions about how Bronze Age combat worked…  |

I have had a lot of fun playing King David, Holy Hack and Homeric Hack. Homeric Hack is slightly more "heroic" than Holy Hack. The WAB supplement on the Bronze Age was also fun. A lot definitely depends on how you view Bronze Age warfare and especially the charity. |

To the Strongest works well. So does Field of Glory. 'To Ur is Human' is also good but more for earlier Sumerian warfare, although easily adapted to later chariot wars |

I think as pointed out above completely depends on how much detail you are looking for and what you think "works" means. I really like the way chariots are handled in Triumph, plus that period has a lot of "lower quality" troops to make those ancient fights interesting. |

DBA Works very well for me. |

I think DBA and Tactica both handle Bronze Age warfare well. Tactica would be preferable in my opinion overall. |

To the best of my knowledge DBA does not even have Chariots as a unique troop type? Unless something changed recently? |

First off, I have never played any games involving chariots however when I was looking into rules for them I found "WAB" to be the set that I would have gone with. I'm also curious to try Hail Caesar's Bronze Age specific rules. Not sure if anyone has tried those. link |

@dervel DBA has always had chariots – they're similar to cav and knights. |
