1000 BC to 1000 AD Rules
Rules Ancients
T. Sheil and A. Shiel offer a scanned copy of a 30-year-old rules set called 1000 BC to 1000 AD. They explain:
The set of wargame rules copied here is a mystery. I had bought the small booklet of Rules almost 30 years ago, for a price of $4.00. The cover is mustard yellow 65-pound cardstock. leather embossed, with brown print. The booklet itself has no copyright notice, information, nor any reference whatsoever to a publisher, author, printer or issuing agency. As you can see, the typesetting work was respectable. I have therefore felt it acceptable to reprint them here.
These rules cover both Ancient and Medieval warfare on the scale of major battles. They were intended for use with 25mm figures.. Adjustments would have to be made for figures larger than 30mm. The rules are a happy medium of realism and ease-of-play. They hie from the Golden Age of Historical Wargaming. I hope you find them useful.
