Overview

This is Phil Barker's significant reworking of the De Bellis Multitudinis: Wargames Rules for Ancient and Medieval Battles – 3000 BC to 1500 AD system.

Basic scale, size, and system remain in place, but significant differences in troop and army capabilities make it a completely new game that plays very differently.
