A chariot has three types of attack: attacks from its crew, attacks from the creatures if they have them, and impact hits from the chariot's superstructure, scythes, blades, etc. Of these the impact hits from the chariot are usually the most dangerous, causing considerable damage as the chariot thunders into the enemy ranks. Chariots only inflict impact hits when they charge because they need to move forward, trampling or knocking aside enemy, crushing them under their wheels or slicing them with their scythes.
