This ruleset simulates battles in the period of 3000 BC to roughly 750 AD, What historians call Antiquity. Sumeria, Babylon, Egypt all vied for dominance in the Fertile Crescent. Greek city states fought each other and others in order to control the Eastern Mediterranean. Carthage and Rome battle for the Western Mediterranean. Rome came out on top and dominated large parts of Europe as well as all the lands spanning Mare Nostrum. Battle was pushed to the edges of the Empire until the so-called barbarian armies swept Western Europe.
Honour was an important ingredient of ancient combat. In order to obtain it, one had to perform brave deeds in battle. And, to have something to show for it. Prisoners were a major part in every campaign. Not only for ransom, but also to plough the conquered fields.

BelloLudi rules are intuitive and easy to learn, yet offer enough variation for seasoned wargamers. Hopefully, playing the game will encourage you to create your own armies. If you are just getting into the hobby, check out the skirmish rules. They are designed with armies of roughly 25-30 miniatures per side. So one box of Wargames Atlantic excellent miniatures per side will be enough.
BelloLudi Skirmish Games
BelloLudi Skirmish games are designed for multiplayer battles using a very small amount of miniatures. They are designed to be fast and fun and easy to learn for non-wargamers. The rules have a core of around a dozen pages, no more than the game of RISK. From page thirteen on, we include some extra rules. You can start off with only 25 miniatures per side so any box of plastic soldiers will give you more than enough to start playing. As with all BelloLudi games the emphasis is about the decisions you make as a commander.
