I understand the criticism in not wanting multiple list books. But the production value and the inclusion of Osprey artwork added to the pictures of painted miniatures makes these books a very nice value. If you count the plates alone in the books, they are a solid value. And yes, I know the illustrations are available elsewhere. But for the novice and the gamer that doesn't have an extensive library of painting guides, these list books are a great start.
I have read just about every rules system out there on ancients and medievals. I have even played over 10 different rules sets. I find these rules to be well written and to simulate what "I" feel ancient and medieval battles looked like. From my reading of historical battles, they were rarely actions with "quick kills". The rules simulate the ebb and flow of battles nicely. To be sure, there are situations where a quick rout can happen but these happen more with the luck or lack of luck in die rolls or when multiple units gang up a single unit. Very realistic to what "I" know of historical battle accounts.
We can sit here and argue with what rules system is the "best". I feel that these rules compromise very little in simulation with relation to game play. As a whole "system", the rules present a refreshing approach to this arena of gaming.
It has brought many "retired" gamers from other rules back to gaming. It has also been bringing in new players for all the right reasons. Both trends that have been sorely needed in historical miniature gaming for some time.
So, join the rest of us who have brought an objective and willing attitude to just sit down and play! Come on in, the water is more than fine.
