We mostly play Command and Colors Ancients, Severus. It suits us because the rules are not complex (although the strategy can be), and games come in at 2-3 hours max, which fits the time we have to play in an evening before people neet to catch trains/get a life. We played a game (Magnesia) with around 900 figures and 7 players in under 2 hours, yesterday.
But C&C isn't everyones cup of tea; it has been descibed by DBMers as a "Beer and Pretzels" game. Not everyone likes the hexes, either. But to my mind it is entertaining and gives a generally convincing portrayal of an ancient battle.
Cheers
