Hey Guys,
So there is a guy in the club who has Byzantines and I plan on raising Sassanids in 28mm
But we need a set of rules.
He is an Old Gronard, so the rules have to allow the Byzantines the abilities they had historically or I will hear about it throughout the game.
I on the other hand, prefer rules that are a bit 'easier', I don't want to spend half the game looking up rules.
Any suggestions. |

Impetus? Sword and Spear? I think both will do the trick. |

Armati 2, is a good choice. Army lists reflect characteristics. |

L'Art de la Guerre is a great set of rules that would take care of all your requirements. |

I am pretty much a DBA 3 and Impetus sort of player these days, but I agree with wrgmr1 that Armati does bring out the characteristics of the period quite well … Phil

Impetus for me, but the best Warhammer Ancient Battles book was the Byzantine one. |

WAB – Beyond the Golden Gate. Lovely book to read and game with! |

Sword & Spear would be my choice; but the armies will pretty much double-up for Armati or Impetus, and depending exactly how you base them no doubt other rules as well. |

Funny, I always thought the WAB Byzantine book was among the weakest… |

It's great if you play 'in period' with armies just from the supplement, which is how they were ideally supposed to be used I believe. I think trying to play with out of period match ups is a no-no for Beyond the Golden gate, with all it's supplemental special bits and bobs! |
