The new advanced Impetus has been released also
-
ADVANCED IMPETVS appears to have been superceded by IMPETVS (2nd Edition).According to Lorenzo Sartori on the Impetus Forum:
"AI no longer exista. AI was just a way to keep Impetus 1 updated. Now with Impetus 2 those parts of AI still with a sense have been merged in the new rulebook. So please remove AI form your files and from your mind."

Is Warmaster Ancients still in print? That's army level; we used to play it quite a bit, but I sold my copy years ago as while it was a great game, it bore only the most tenuous relationship to a real ancient battle.
What about WRG7th/Warrior?

What about WRG7th/Warrior?
With the demise of Warhammer Historical Wargames in 2012, both WARMASTER ANCIENTS and WARHAMMER ANCIENT BATTLES officially went out of print.
WRG 7th has long been out of print, but the author has posted a link to a free PDF of the rules here: http://www.wrg.me.uk/WRG.net/History/wrg.html (http://www.wrg.me.uk/WRG.net/History/wrg.html)
WARRIOR is still in print (I had already included it in my original post), and is available for purchase from the Four Horsemen Enterprises web site.
