More on Ancient Chinese Armies

 By Dave Vallance

One of the Warring States Ancient Chinese armies for DBA in 6mm, is the almighty Chin.



In front are 3 elements of Crossbow



2nd line, on army photo above, on the left, 2 elements of Psiloi light infantry, and 4 elements of loony Warband on the right


Psiloi Light infantry


'Loony' Warband

Back line, 1 cavalry element t on the left, 2 Heavy chariot elements (General in the one with the parasol, as are all the other generals). These are treated as Knights in the rules.

And finally 1 element of Light Horse.



13 units, but there are options to have choices to make up the 12 elements, in this case, either 1 Psiloi or 1 Light Horse.

The other armies are similar, some spear heavy, some crossbow heavy

Another shows close ups of the chariots. The General could be one of the three Ting brothers, Bo, Lu or Shu (work it out!)

And finally, one of the walled towns, in this case the town of Pi Sha. Note the tower which is slightly leaning. The buildings in the middle are not stuck down.
