I recently bought up nine Greek figures from Bronze Age Miniatures (they are fantastic, and the delivery was extremely quick) and now I'm busting a gut to play with them. Since I don't have any other miniatures, I thought maybe a small skirmish game would work best. Are there any rules for Ancients skirmishing that would work well with Greeks?

We have a bunch of Greek army lists. And our game plays LIKE a skirmish game (individual based, each base being a "company" of 30 to 100 men, depending on frontage used from 15mm to 30mm). You can just call each figure on its base one man, or as many as you want depending on the scenario…. 1066.us
