Ancient & Medieval Wargaming (2007, Neil Thomas) Fast-play wargame for land armies. 8 units comprise an army. 4 stands (DBA-sized) comprise infantry and cavalry units. Enthusiasts suggest a subscription to Slingshot magazine for additional game support and errata, as neither Sutton Publishing nor the author publish online.
