About Ancient Historical Battles
This is volume 1 of a series of ancient battle scenarios. Thirty-nine (39) different battles are represented from Megiddo (1479 BC) to Adrianople (378 AD). Orders of battle are given in terms of the popular DBA/DBM miniatures rules, though there is enough information given for adapting the battles to other rules systems as desired. While DBA usually focuses on armies composed of exactly 12 elements, the scenarios included vary in size depending on the numbers of combatants.
