Description

A guide for playing Ancient and Medieval wargames with miniatures, the striking Field of Glory rulebook includes colour coding for easy navigation, clear photographs of miniatures and diagrams (showing rules examples, troop placements, scale considerations and more), detailed Osprey artwork, a guide to figure painting, an overview of the history of this world of warfare, organisation tables and a background to the men who fought on the ground. Containing four ready-to-use army lists, this rulebook can either stand alone and be used for immediate gaming, or can be combined with the army list companions listed above to recreate a diverse range of conflicts in each period of the eras covered.

Disclaimer: my rating is based on the quality of the rules. I HAVE NOT YET PLAYED THE GAME. So it is not based on how well the rules play. I hope to play them in the next 30 days or so.

These are a costly set of rules at $35. However the the physical quality of them makes them that much more

appealing. Lots of color maps, diagrams, and fabulous Osprey color art are included. These are not easy rules, but much more comprehensible than the Barkerese of DBM or DBA. Included are some sample army lists, but for the most part these will be add ons at an extra cost. These are rules with some unfamiliar terms, some additional turn phases, and they desperately need a quick play chart to earn that extra half star. That said, I can't wait to give them a try.
