Phalanx Rules
In this ancient world of warfare, different nations were at war all across the European continent, some of these conflicts lasted for many years.
The rules allow you to construct your army, unit by unit, detailing all their armour and equipment. It’s what you see, is what you get, since there are no army lists or battle points system.
The pike phalanx is a feature of quite a few armies, so the rules are inclusive for their use. Elephants, chariots and cavalry are also available for armies that use them.
