You could look at Strength and Honour.

Are you looking for a 2mm set?

Thank you for your Help.
I got 2mm Minitatures, but i don't need specifically rules for them, I am sure I can adjust the rules for 2mm

Kiwiee28 Aug 2022 3:08 p.m. PST

The Strength and Honor Rules are to Basic for me, i need a little bit more detailed Fights. I dont mind complex rules with multiple charts for one Combat.

What 2mm miniatures did you acquire? Thinking about maybe trying smaller scales for huge battle fields.
Thanks
Bob
PS Besides Roman, are there a lot of other periods in 2mm?

DBA would work. You could many 2mm figures to a stand and make the game look great.

Clash of Empires us a meaty set, worth a look.

WRG 7th or it's new incarnation as Warrior

I am rather fond of Strategos/Lost Battles. Fairly crunchy but more in the command system than anything else. Uses a grid and elements so works for any size of figure and any basing scheme.

I believe many rule sets would work – maybe some with small adjustments.

Strength and Honour is written specifically with small scale (2mm) figures in mind.

To the Strongest uses a grid so is more figure size agnostic that most.

@Kiwiee

Fighting against Rome in 2mm has been my sole interest for the last 20 years, after all those years in the wilderness 2022 has proved to be a fantastic year.

Tactical units being the maniple then later the cohort so when you say detailed combats I imagine you mean at this level. If that's the case then it's easily covered by any rule set using elements.

With you finding Strength and Honour too basic might I suggest Bella Contra Barbaros by Michael Collins, they cover nearly every aspect of Roman warfare.

Only available as a PDF file.
