No, I doodn't. 
Option 2:
"about all warring civilizations up to 600 AD in North Africa, Europe and the Near East":
I agree that most of those civilizations are discussed here, but only in the context of Roman and Greek warfare. And although I've seen a bit about Hittites and Myceneans stroll by, there is so far no section that discussed any of the peoples unrelated to Greeks and Romans at length. No Slavis section as yet, so to speak, or a massive discussion about the wars between Assyria and Egypt!
Option 4:
"about warfare in the ancient world up to 1453, the Fall of Constantinople":
Although we occasionally stray into late Medieval times, it's only occasionally. We haven't discussed the enemies of the Byzantine Empire at length, either. I'm not sure i'd wish for that, either - interesting sure, but not for this board.
Like you said, that's the forum, not the entire site, which is still mainly about the Roman Army, right?
So therefore - keep it as it is!
