That's incorrect, Ithilion. The chieftains were specifically stated to use them, but not only chieftains. The vanguard was composed of chariots and cavalry, and not enough chieftains would be in the front to form a significant part of the force, so there must have been other chariots, I deduce- especially for them to be mentioned frequently as having a significant effect in battle.

Eldacar: So Tolkien may have missed the realism mark, get over it. I didn't mean their potency in the Medieval period; I meant their potency in Tolkien's Middle-earth. And again, you have denied they were used in combat; I have already provided quotes that say they were, and to great effect.
