Strength & Honour: Wargames Rules for Epic Battles in the Ancient World

Strength & Honour: Wargames Rules for Epic Battles in the Ancient World

2022·Mark Backhouse

2 - 6 players
120 - 480 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

The game allows you to recreate battles from the start of the Marian reforms in Rome around 105BC, when the professional Roman legionaries organised in cohorts replaced the older Republican Legion structure of maniples, through to about 200AD. Command armies of the Ancient World on a massive scale with these innovative and fun rules that put you in charge for the classic encounters of antiquity. Designed for large battles in smaller scales, Strength & Honour allows you to take to the field at the head of massed ranks of thousands of warriors. With scenarios included for 10 battles you will take the role of leaders such as Julius Caesar, Boudicca and Pompey. In addition to the rules, Strength & Honour includes twenty army lists covering the Ancient world from the island of Britannia in the west to the mystic East beyond the Mediterranean; Germania's forests in the north and the deserts and mountains of north Africa in the south. Battles focus on large units so for example a legion is the basic unit building block of a Roman army. While the rules were designed for 2mm figures they are playable with any sized figures, or indeed printable top down units which are also available.
