Apart from the Lidless Eye lists for 6th edition (or was that DBM ?) and the fantasy appendix to 4th (??), has anyone developed a comprehensive fantasy system to sit with WRG ancients ? Not just Hyboria !  As that was basically all humans and magic free (other than non-battle characters IIRC). |

Warrior Rules (essentially WRG 7.5) had a test set of Fantasy Warrior. You can probably still get it by joining the Warrior Rules Yahoo Group. I printed out a copy years ago but have moved on to FoG. |

Here There Be Dragons, is the DBM supplement. Also known as De Bellis Fantasticus. April 1998 I am not sure there was anything else for the WRG rules than what you already named. Cheers, |

WRG Ancients aren't fantasy? |

It would appear not…rather an intricate attempt to simulate every troop type and weapon variation over a 5000 year span without the use of special rules for every troop type and weapon over a 5000year span and all grounded in the best archaelogical knowledge of the time. That's dedication. Course it is interesting to see if the overall results are any different to a set of rules designed only from half a dozen primary school books on the ancient world…. |

Or any other set of rules you care to name :-) |

I have a campaign list with Fantasy stuff from '84, using 6th.
I will try to find it tonight and pm it tomorrow. |

The good news is, there is wargamer-mannheim.de just look at "WRG6te Fantasy" and there again you will find the link "WRG6te Fantasy" to a fairly comprehensive Fantasy supplement to 6th. The bad news is (if you haven't already guessed), if you do not speak German, no luck here….. |
