Hoplomachia (2003)

is a set of miniatures rules for the peloponnesian war, 431-404 bc …with full colour graphics!

These rules are not for the faint of heart! There are lots of strange and arcane systems which may baffle the novice gamer, and loads of Greek words and terms that you’ll have to memorize. You have been forewarned! We here at the Captain’s Mess have been looking far and wide for a set of rules that would give us the closest feeling to the awful and bloody battles that are crammed into all the historical writings of the ancient Greeks. We looked far and wide, but found nothing that “tasted” anything like the accounts in Herodotus, Thukydides, or Xenophon- so we decided to “cook” one up ourselves.
