About Ancients, from BoardGameGeek:

Ancients is a board wargame of Tactical level combat in the age before GunPowder. The game contains over five-dozen historical Ancient and Medieval battles scenarios, and many more are being added. King of Kings (itself later republished by 3W as Imperator) was a companion game. The Rules of Ancients are in the "Files" section.
