"Best rules depicting Roman tactics?" Topic

I am looking for a good recommendation for a set of rules that depicts Roman tactics during the Punic Wars and wars against Hellenist opponents fairly accurately. If it helps any, I game with 28mm figures. All recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

Midgard tries, having a 'Replacements' trait which allows a unit behind another unit with that trait to exchange places with it, on a successful 'Command Roll' of 3-6 (D6)

Ahh, the dilemma of rules that actually represent Roman tactics….sorry I cannot really help, but maybe:

I've always thought that the GMT games (a hex boardgame if you're not familiar) was one of the better game systems that captured Roman tactical deployments, as well as their less organized opponents. The title "SPQR" which i bought in the early 90's, or the simplified version "Simple GBoH" could make a great minitatures game if one could figure out how to represent the units in a more miniatures friendly fashion (the games have sometimes hundreds of counters representing maniples/cohorts-putting that into miniature terms would be overwhelming).

To the Strongest! also has a line replacement rule IIRC

Thank you for your input on this matter.

Depends how abstract you want to get really. I always though Lost Battles/Strategos did a decent job of representing the way different armies fought, but if you don't like grids, it isn't for you.
