Well, Shogun aside, which by the way I would submit hardly qualifies as an "ancient" wargame, what other games do you fancy?<br>
<br>
For computer games, I thought the "Great Battles" series was done tolerably well, although a bit on the buggy side and not really snazzy on the aesthetics.<br>
<br>
I rather hope that something akin to Shogun might be done for one of the Roman civil wars, perhaps the Long Year of 69 CE. Multiple Roman factions plus the unpredictable frontiers and usual native unrest.<br>
<br>
Doesn't qualify as a wargame per se, but I very much liked Caesar series, extending to Pharoah. Have just bought Zeus but haven't yet installed.<br>
<br>
For board games, I love Republic of Rome but it's tough to find a group willing to absorb the rulebook. Also the Hannibal and Successors games from Avalon Hill. Great fun. <p></p><i></i>
