📖 About This Game

A moderately abstract set of Ancient and Medieval miniatures rules. This ruleset is the bigger brother of De Bellis Antiquitatis: Quick Play Wargame Rules with Army Lists for Ancient and Medieval Battles. It covers the same time period (3000 BC - 1500 AD) through four volumes of army list books. Armies are typically built to 300-500 points, and can encompass anywhere between 150 and 400 figures grouped onto individual elements.
