Wars of the Republic

Wars of the Republic allows players to simulate battles during the Republican period of ancient Rome, from the First Samnite War (343 BC) to the Gallic Wars (50 BC). The rulebook provides the mechanics for resolving combat with a dice-based system, includes army lists for Roman legions and their opponents such as Gauls, Carthaginians, and Greeks, and offers campaign scenarios to reenact conflicts like Hannibal’s defeat at Lake Trasimene and Caesar’s victory at Alesia. The rules are suitable for miniatures of various sizes and allow players to either command Roman forces or resist their expansion.
