"Rules For Romans On a Lion Rampant Scale?" Topic

I know that Lion Rampant has a WSS variant for Romans, but I wonder if there is a Romans v Gauls/Britons/Germans specific rules set that is of roughly the same scale/scope.

I like the Lion Rampant ease of play and the smallish units.

I have been considering that myself.

I have long had some Foundry Germans and Celts intended for Warhammer Historical, but that never happened. I love the minis, and was looking to use them in a more manageably-sized project.

I found an adaptation called 'Eagle Rampant':

Perhaps that's what you're talking about, though. (?)

wymers -- yes, that's the variant I know of. I was wondering if there was something more specific to the Ancients period. Medieval warfare seems to me to be less structured than the Romans would be.

Beast Rampant -- Manageably sized. Exactly.

There's also a variant in WSS that I am aware of. But I'm looking for a period specific, stand-alone.

Why not use Lion Rampant and just write your own army lists?

At the skirmish level, I think all combat tends to be pretty unstructured. You might give the Romans a "shield wall" like tactic they can use?

Or ask it the other way round: what is missing from Lion Rampant other than an Army list?

Homebrew (not mine)….

Anyone know of any rules for ancients that are one figure represents one man, but for lots of figures.

Irish Marine -- I have used the GW Lord of the Rings rules for such games.

I'm with extra crispy and I think Mr Mercey is to. I read him say he wouldnt do an ancients game as you can make lists for lion rampart rather than him writing a new set of rules for it.

Ney Ney -- I have read that as well about Mersey. I was just wondering if there was ANOTHER set of rules that I was unaware of with similar scale / playability. I envision games centered around a Roman frontier outpost.
