I continue to test the latest iteration of my ancient rules (Ancient Battlelines Clash) with seven games on a 12"x12" table. The armies are all the Basic Impetus Volume 1: Age of Chariots converted to my troop definitions and then cutting down the number of units by about one-third to fit on the small board. After these games I went back to the drawing board and have a much revised ruleset I am using for 2'x2' battles so this is likely to be the last of the games I play using my Ancient Battlelines Clash rules. How I did the armies, troop definitions, solo opponent and seven quick game reports (well, quick for me anyway) on the blog:

A good idea well presented. I'm going to have to study this a bit. But my first impulse would be to keep the rules and board, but use much smaller castings. (I'm assuming these are 15mm throughout?) |

Thanks Robert. These are 15mm all the way. In the past I have used 6mm on 30cmx30cm, not sure why I did not use them here as I have 6mm Biblical figures! |
