I recently purchased the DBMM rule set along with the army lists. After looking at the army lists I realized I don't know that much about how the ancients fought. So what I'm looking for is a good book or two about ancient tactics. The period I want to start with is either Marian Roman or Late Imperial Roman. Thank you for any suggestions. |

Hard to go wrong with either one of these:
Warfare in the Classical World, by John Warry
Greece and Rome at War, by Peter Connelly Lots of great color illustrations in both! |

Lost Battles by Prof. Phillip Sabin is essential reading on this subject. |
