description Warmaster Ancients Overview
Warmaster Ancients is a historical mass-battle miniatures game designed by Rick Priestley. It adapts the command and movement framework of Warmaster to armies from ancient and medieval history, using formations of units rather than individual skirmishers. Orders are issued through commanders, and the outcome of an order depends partly on dice, so the system models the limits of battlefield communication. The game is suited to large battles fought with relatively small-scale miniatures and organized units.
