Its not a bad system. I have a copy and was looking to game with it before I caught the Pulp bug WAB is based on 5th edition and has been modified to take into account some of the historical tactics and weapons.

Doing some research. Warhammer Ancients sounds like it's just a derivative of Warhammer Fantasy 6th Edition which is actually kind of a turn off for me. I particularly dislike the I go, you go system all GW's games use. DBM sounds like a harder read, but is potentially more rewarding in terms of tactical play possibly? Either way I suspect some more reading will be required for historical gaming (which is a good thing). Heck I don't even recognize half of the races and periods mentioned in some of the DBM army lists! Good man! Doing some research.

Might not play very well though, I'm still trying to figure out FOW after Pulping for so long! Stu, you get two armies up and running and figure out some rules, I’ll play with ya!

I'll investigate both rulesets before spending any $$$ I suspect. Hard to say if no terrain is a plus or a minus really! I’ll investigate both rulesets before spending any $$$ I suspect.

Seriously. 15mm Ancients in North Africa. I can reuse all my FOW terrain again, even the 15mm ME buildings I have are suitable. Romans? Numidians? Nobody is tempted? Even if I buy two armies and paint them up! :) By god I can try though!
