Hey Guys,
We have a large collection of 15mm Late Romans that belonged to a friend that passed away. So I'm busy painting Goths/Huns to take on this large force.
We hope to do a memorial game later this years. Any suggestions for rules that can handle a lot of units?
They are all WRG basing. |

basic impetus (group four WRG bases together to form one impetus base) |

My recommendation is the Comitatus rules set by Simon Macdowell. The rules are specially designed for the period and flow very well. Your basing should work well with these rules. |

Comitatus by Simon MacDowell exactly fits your requirement. |

Clash of Empires also calls for lots of units. That' what I'm planning to use for my Vikings & Saxons project… |

You might consider Conquerors and Kings by Peter Pig if you want it to be simple and grand?? martin |

You might like to try "To the Strongest!"; we often game Late Roman battles with the rules in which I must declare an interest as I wrote them (to accommodate very large battles). I reckon to play a 2,000 mini game twice in a day using them, switching sides after lunch. There are Late Roman lists, too.

I'd suggest "Hail Caesar!" |

You seem to have four good contenders. I can certainly recommend To the Strongest. Quick to learn, lots of subtleties that repay careful thought, quick to play, even for big games, and most importantly IMHO, tremendous fun! I hope you find what you are looking for. Mollinary |

Giant Battle DBA works well with my large Late Roman army fighting Picts, Scots Irish and Early Saxons.
Whatever you choose, have fun. |

Scutarii works well for large battles and uses WRG/DBX baxing. Rules can be learned in one turn and play fairly quickly. I have run Callinicum several times. The Rules can be purchased from Hoplite Research through LULU and there is an additional discount offered by LULU through May 13 of 25% using the code NURSE25
