Rules – Warfare in the Age of Pericles

[Tony S]

I just spotted these rules in an email from Caliver Books, but they’re available from On Military Matters as well. To wit:

But that’s besides the point.  I haven’t heard anything about them.  I see Tod Kershner is a co-author, and it has “Age of” in the title, so does it share a family resemblance with his other “Age of” rules?  I would presume so, but then I notice there are cards and markers available, which aren’t necessary for those older rules.

I’m still looking for a decent set of Hoplite Warfare rules, and was wondering if these might fill the brief.  I wasn’t terribly impressed with Men of Bronze.  I admit it’s a hard period to recreate an interesting game while still trying to preserve that veneer of historicity.

Anyone heard anything about them?
