We started to write this set of rules to accomplish a definite goal: to simulate battles of our Samnite Wars campaign game with a rules system more accurate than DBM. We tried to make some adjustments to DBM, with some results indeed, better one the improvement of Samnite and Campanian Auxilia, but we weren't yet pleased with what we obtained, mainly because we couldn't feel the flavour of the era. Of corse DBM was the accused, because it is a generic game that covers too many ages; therefore in DBM Pharaoh's bodyguard, Spartan Hoplites and medieval foot sergeants behave the same, just to make an example. About in the same time we was thinking about possible solutions, we discovered on Internet "IronBow", a new and innovative game published free of charge by The Perfect Captain. This game focusses on recreating unique traits of crusade era battles, with many details which add a lot of flavour, but keeping the rules very simples. This game system was an enlightenment for us; obviously there was a lot of work to do, because many rules and many details are tied down very strong to crusade age, but the general concepts of this set of rules are very like what we are seeking for.
