Has anyone written and gamed historical army lists and scenarios using the battlesystem rules? How would one go about making an Early Imperial Roman army for example? |

I've never heard of it being done, but seems like it wouldn't be difficult. |

There might be a list in the 2nd Ed. Imperial Rome splat book. (Yes, they made an "Imperial Rome" splat book for D&D. They used to be cool.) If I can remember, I'll see if I can find my copy. |

OK, I was right. The book you want is "The Glory of Rome" Campaign Sourcebook. It's HR5 in the 2d Ed. splat book series (one of the green ones). ISBN 1-56076-673. I can't post the details here, because the Battlesystem chapter includes Rome and a bunch of her enemies — you'll want to track down your own copy. (That and it's #5 in the historical series! You're probably looking for more books than this one.) |

Good news. They've got the PDF on sale for $10 USD: link |
