I have the English Civil War rules (only use them for 30 yrs. War though) but it's the same basic system for the Ancient battles.<br>
A point that was mentioned before, it requires lots of soldiers. Warhammer is designed to make you buy lots of GW's figures, at least the fantasy ones, so any other game by that system will have that built in. However, since I enjoy the modelling end of the hobby probably more than most, I like games that center on the miniature, not just 'stands' with figures being irrelevant athstetics. As far as the rules, they do a pretty good job of being realistic as well as fun and simple, in my opinion. I suppose as a wargame proper, they're quite unsatisfactory since there is no scale for time/space/minis vrs. soldiers. Another good point is that it doesn't matter how many figures there are per side, assuming times not a problem, the game works pretty good with a handful of units or with whole armies.<br>
