RE: Miniatures vs Wargame rules:<br>
<br>
I am a fan of both mediums myself. I have picked up a lot of various Roman-era boardgames, but my favorite are from GMT with the great battles series. I also enjoy Seige of Jerusalem by AH which to me is kind fo like "Roman ASL". There are two seperate games in the works about Alesia. One from GMT GBOH series and one from L2 designs which of course did the Streets of Stalingrad remake at the Company level. Both will be to some extent Monster games with L2 being the larger.<br>
<br>
Check them out in the pre-gunpowder discussion section of www.consimworld.com <br>
<br>
I've played a number of Ancient rules. Apart from the "regulars" (DBA/DBM) Check out Classical Hack which is pretty good.<br>
<br>
Because I've gotten my kids into miniatures I've found that I neded to make our own rules set geared to their interests. They're more into skirmish stuff but because we have huge 15mm Armies (I can field a cohort of Romans at 1 to 1 scale as well as similar sized Greek, Gaul and persioan/parthina enemies), we sort of came up with grand-scale skirmish rules to do that and they are much fun.<br>
<br>
And of course for a comprehensive list view of all things miniature go to:<br>
