The Art of Tactics

by Luke Ueda-Sarson

I am currently working on a set of ancients wargaming rules for large battles, designed at three levels of complexity. I will be demonstrating their principles, at the lowest level of complexity, in the evenings during NatCon, and will be organising a demonstration battle on the Monday incorporating some of the more advanced rules and features.

Those interested in taking part should contact me at:

luke@po.crl.go.jp.

Some of the ideas behind the rules can be summarised as: Units are a single bases representing from 250 to 2000 troops Large troop bases to enable diorama-like effects on each base Very limited player control over troops compared to most sets of rules.

The Monday battle will probably be a Hellenistic-period affair using 15mm figures.
