Work.

Since I have now a lot of work at the university I cannot paint, but I plan on adding more uboxed DBA sets and rearange the mitanni posts so that all the pictures are in one place. I placed a new order at Essex for Kassites, Vikings and Early Polish plus some assyrian miniatures packs to replace some of the figures from Assyrian DBA army by Essex.

On The Hittite chariots.

For everyone interested in bronze age in ancient near east I recommend the following book: The End of the Bronze Age: Changes in Warfare and the Catastrophe ca. 1200 B.C. The author takes a lot of scholarly knowledge, that is not available to everyone, and delivers in a easy to reader in a simple and very informative way. This has also sums up all the arguments for the bowman in Hittite chariots.
