You have rekindled my interest in Rome vs Greece. I’ll be checking these rules out over the weekend. Thank heaven for juniogenerals too!

Our gaming group have several games of D6 behind us and seem to like them better each time we play!!!! We have even designed a campaign game around D6 using a large island similar to sicily with Romans ,Charthageans and Greeks facing each other. We also use a naval component played a lot like D6. Thank You

@Joe
Hope you enjoy the rules. Junior General is a great site. I’ve used some of their art and have drawn some of my own in their style.
@Jon
Glad you are enjoying the game. I am intrigued about your naval rules. How do they work? D6 would work great for campaigns because of the relatively short games.

Looks great, thank you for sharing! Any thoughts of extending it to include Medievals?

Right now I plan on doing Early Medieval as in Norman/Saxon/Viking. I’ll probably extend that to include first crusade. I tend to design to my miniatures collection and my favorite periods (ie the ones I know something about!) HYW is not out of the question as are the Scottish and Welsh wars. The Imperials will be a bit more problematic as I don’t know too much about that.

Looks like a fun set of rules! I will have to give them a try.
Thanks for putting the rules out here for us all.

Dear John,
Ancients D6 is a Very nice set of rules. I have played them with my boys and some of their freinds (as young and 5 years old) and they like it as do I.
I have a question on rallying. Does only the phasing player rally or do both sides rally in each rally phase. Also, if both sides rally, can the non phasing side use commander’s orders and if he does so, does it affect the number of orders he can use in his phase?
Thanks again, John Worden

Hi John,
Glad you are enjoying the rules.
In the rally phase, only the phasing player gets to rally. So, only the phasing player can spend orders to rally his units.

Hi John, just read the rules (heard about them on TMP). I am a medievals player and was wondering how you would handle medieval troop types. Have you done any medieval lists?
Thanks – Allen

Hi Aiden,
I noticed the link went up and down a few times today. Probably something going on with my provider. Give it another try. If it does not work, I can upload a copy to the group.

Stumbled across this site via TMP and am intrigued by your approach. I have a fair few Saxon and Norman figures languishing in my loft and you have given me the incentive to liberate them from the darkness and I intend to test your systems with them over the next few weeks.
Thanks for reviving the interest of a jaded gamer.
