Line Infantry

The Hittites could boast many different allies. Some relied on chariots and runners. Many supplied only foot units of spear men, axe men, archers, slingers and javelin units. None of these could march as fast a wheeled chariot army in the open. Thus they would be purely supportive and used in more difficult terrain and close to cities and towns. On the march they would bring up the rear. In a designated prearranged set piece battle they would be deployed. These would attack once the chariot units had softened the enemy foot and distracted the enemy chariots. The supporting foot units would move in on the enemy once the chariots had done their job.

Hittites Finished

Use the Homeric Hack Rules as set down in the rules for Trojan Allies. Use the same foot unit modifiers and melee values as well. Remember the Hittites did not dismount from the chariots and we are not even sure they actually carried the runners. Players may attach runners to vehicles however, when doing so they carry 12 figures not 6 but move at half speed and are disordered if contacted with the runners still on board. Use the dismounting rules for moving.
