Ancients Rules

So here's where it gets interesting...

It turns out there are a ton of rule sets for gaming Ancient Miniatures. You wouldn't think it, but there are just a ton of choices.

There are numerous aspects that differ from game-to-game and for each aspect there are a spectrum of choices.

My next post will get into the criteria I ultimately used for picking which rule sets to focus on, but for now here is a partial list (in no particular order) of rules sets that I considered along with links to information sites:
