These rules cover the heyday of the Greeks & Romans, their allies and their adversaries. They are based upon Richard Stevens Sword and Pistol: Rules for Renaissance Skirmishes rules for the 1500s, but have been completely adapted and expanded to cover this earlier period.

Most games have between eight and sixteen figures per side, so gameplay is convenient and fast moving.

Included in the game are four introductory scenarios and three special situation scenarios. The main troop types of this period are also briefly listed.
