1st Corps Release Antigonid Heavy Cavalry

paintingbird writes:

As I see these heavy cavalry models have shields, I was wondering when the use of shields for cavalry began.

I think Tarantine cavalry were the first to de so, but when was it that others started doing so?

In Alexanders time, cavalry still did not use it.

BTW, excellent figures. I think I can use them, and now I have a good reason to come over the chanel for Salute!
