I'm gonna read them, then!
For Syracuse not a big deal, standard hoplite warfare. So Syracuse vs Sparta vs Athene is covered.
For Carthage I don't know how flexibles are the rules for generic troops types (like Rampant serie), which allow you to draw your list. Can shed any light on it?

I am working on a blog post on this topic, so keep your eyes peeled. I will say the "Rampant" Series was a big inspiration in my army list designs.

I got the go-ahead to share some of the Unit info people have been looking for. Hopefully, it is helpful to you.

Also, my copy is in the mail to me!

Very cool, thanks for that. Now to go check out Osprey's sale (again) to see what MAA and Elite books I might need to support a project for this.

Thanks for posting Eric. I know I have been chaffing to get more info on force building.
Something you wrote confused me though. If movement is in base widths, that means my 10mm chaps on 60mm bases move 60mm every 1 movement unit. However, you say you use 1" per movement unit for 28mm troops. That would make my small lads six times faster than your giant hoplites. That can't be right, so what am I missing?

Base widths are just an arbitrary measure to keep things generic. I probably should have called them "Measurement Units" as they can be whatever you need them to be.
I have actually never really measured the bases widths on my models. I just use 1 inch as it looks and feels good to me to play with in 28mm.

Ah, so in my case, where a unit is 60cm wide, we might be better using 1cm as a movement unit?
I would imagine your 28mm units are about 5-6 inches wide...?

I was just going to ask the same type of thing... Might be a good thing to blog about/post more info here - how you would use multi-base models in the rules as it seems some of us at least have multiple-based stuff and likely won't be doing 28mm individual based mini's, but might still want to try the game.
DBx basing for example I can possibly be used in 3 ways it seems:
* 1 DBX base per unit - travel scale game (markers for unit formation may be needed)
* 2 DBX bases wide per unit - allows a representation of formation etc
* 1 BDX base per one or 2 figures at 28mm level.
Some thoughts from the author might help one each case.

Sorry, no progress on the Base discussion front.
I was asked to write an article for Wargames, Soldiers, and Strategy so I tackled that first.
If you are interested in Ancient Greek combat, you will be happy with the May issue.

Good reading that Eric. And whoever painted those tiny 10mm chaps must be some sort of genius master army painter!

My 15mm hoplites are based in groups of 10, so your post re. basing for Men of Bronze is most encouraging.

Picked up my copy yesterday and read it on the way home.
I really like the rules. Looking forward to giving them a go. I think they seem like a pretty good representation of hopite warfare. I'm off to dig out my hoplites and Persians and try them out.
(However, and its a minor but important niggle, why isn't there a playsheet. No excuse for not including this Osprey it's well know us gamers like them. It's a complaint I have about many of their sets).
