Could you link to the specific images in question? The Pylos image shows a guy with a spear/javelin walking behind a chariot. I'm not disputing that spears were used from chariots. I'm questioning whether they were used for couched lance "shock tactics". Conter's thesis, to which you linked, does not support this theory either. I wouldn't place too much store in Troy: Total War. They have managed to mingle about 500 years of equipment and tactics.
