Introduction to the Hurlbat Publishing Edition Welcome to the Hurlbat Publishing edition of ‘Micro Warfare Series: Micro Ancients’ This series of games was original published by Tabletop Games in the 1970s with this title being published in 1976. Each game in the series aims to recreate the feel of tabletop wargaming with large numbers of miniatures but using printed counters and terrain so that games can be played in a small space and are very cost-effective. In these new editions we have kept the rules and most of the illustrations unchanged but have modernised the layout and counter designs to refresh the game. These basic rules can be further enhanced through the use of the expansion sets below, which each add new sets of army counters and rules to the core game: Product Expansion I Expansion II Expansion III Expansion IV Expansion V

Subject Chariot Era & Far East Classical Era Enemies of Rome Fall of Rome The Dark Ages

Additional Armies Assyrian; Chinese; Egyptian Indian; Macedonian; Persian; Selucid Britons; Gallic; Goth Byzantine; Hun; Late Roman; Sassanid Norman; Saxon; Viking

Micro Ancient Warfare This game recreates a battle during the Punic Wars, between Carthaginian and Roman Republican armies. The Roman army counters represent a force of two legions, with auxiliary and other friendly foreign troops, totalling approximately 22,000 men. The Carthaginian army is typical of a mercenary type army, with counters representing some 30,000 men. Using the simple but comprehensive rules, up to six players are able to recreate a complete battle on any flat surface. The battlefield can be varied to suit any type of terrain, thus giving an extremely variable playing area. Now the Carthaginian army can once again cross the Alps into Italy, fight their way into the heart of the Roman countryside, winning great victories such as at Cannae, and once again be forced back into the African continent, to be defeated at Zama. You are the general commanding one of these armies.

Move Procedures The game is played on an alternate move basis, each side throwing one die at the beginning of the game and the higher score moving first on all odd numbered moves. No unit, other than those which are counter-charging, routing, retreating or evading may move in their enemy’s move turn. The sequence of each move is as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Move all routing and retreating units Moving player declares any charges, measures the distance to contact and determines at which point in the move contact was made. The moving player then moves his other units as required Non-moving player specifies any evading of counter-charging units and determines their move Non-moving player determines the result of any missile fire, resolving any missile morale tests resulting from this missile fire as they occur Resolve all melees, taking a morale test as the result of each individual melee as it is completed

Terrain See Appendix One for details on how to make and set up your battle terrain. Cover A unit will be considered to be in cover when in a wood, on the edge of dead ground, in broken ground or behind a wall or hedge. Vision Restrictions Troops in woods will be able to see other troops only if they are within 30mm of each other. Troops in the woods will not be seen by troops outside the wood if the latter is not on the edge of the wood.

Interpenetration This occurs when one unit passes through another. One unit must be stationary whilst the other moves through it. Open order units may pass through other units without unforming either, all other troops will unform both their own unit and the ones they pass through. Close order units may not interpenetrate other close order units, with the exception of the Roman Cohort change rule. Units interpenetrated may not mount a counter-charge in the same move. Unforming A unit will become unformed when one of the following occurs: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Close Order and order troops and armoured cavalry will become unformed when moving through woods, over broken ground and soft sand If M3 class troops are contacted by an enemy whilst wheeling If a unit is hit in the flank or rear and no troops are facing that way After disengaging from a melee against any troops other than open order infantry Immediately a unit begins to rout After completing a pursuit, but not whilst pursuing Cavalry within 75mm of elephants By interpenetration

Reforming A unit in melee will not be able to reform until it disengages. Reforming will take one stationary move. Missile armed troops may fire at half effect whilst reforming. All troops may counter-charge if charged but will count as unformed in the melee. Roman Cohort Change Rule This rule is included to simulate the interchanging of lines in the Roman Cohort when in melee. A Roman Cohort may change position with another cohort which is supporting is and which is within 10mm of its immediate rear. This must be done during their own move turn; the object being to bring a fresh unit into contact. When this movement is used, it will mean the Roman unit giving ground because the front unit must withdraw through the supporting unit. In this case only, neither will become unformed. Enemy units may follow up in the same move and will be classed as advancing if they do so.

Missile Combat Weapon Ranges Weapon Bows Slings Javelins War Engines

Close Range Up to 75mm Up to 75mm Up to 15mm N/A

Long Range 75mm to 150mm N/A N/A Up to 400mm

Note: Hand-hurled weapons are not thrown during the move that a unit charges into contact. This is taken into account in the melee calculation. No unit may fire whilst charging. Arcs of Fire To determine if a unit can fire at a target, place the firing arc segment alongside the firing unit counter and lay a tape measure along the appropriate line. If any of the target counters are within the arc then they may be engaged. Open order bow armed cavalry may also fire 60° either side of their centre to the rear. Missile fire calculation When two opposing units come within the relevant missile range, and one is capable of firing, the result of such fire is calculated as follows: 1. 2. 3.

Measure the range from the centre of the firing unit to the nearest point on the target counter and determine if it is within close or long range Turn to the missile table on the combat charts, and cross-reference the relevant number of fighting factors firing with the number of fighting factors in the particular target formation. This gives the basic factor loss by the target. Throw a random factor and multiply the result by five. Add or subtract this result to the basic factor from 2 above

Missile Random Factor This is determined by throwing one red die, counting the score as negative, and one black die, counting the score as positive. The result achieved cannot be outside the limits stated in the table below: Troop Class M1 M2 M3

Maximum +3 +5 +5

Minimum -1 -3 -5

Note: If an M1 unit achieves a random factor result of +4 it is counted as only +3. Result Any positive result gives the number of fighting factors lost by the target unit. This figure is subtracted from the unit’s present fighting factor total on the casualty record sheets. Ignore any negative results. Example: 450 bowmen are firing at 1000 close order infantry at 120mm range, and the random factor result is plus two. From the table the basic factor is thirty one and the random factor is plus ten (i.e. 2 x 5), giving a final result of 31 + 10 = 41 fighting factors lost. Had the random factor been -2 then the above result would be 31 – 10 = 21 fighting factors lost. Firing into Melee No unit may be engaged with missile fire while it is engaged in melee.

Missile Morale This morale test is taken by a unit which suffers the loss of 50 or more fighting factors from missile fire in any one move. The test should be taken immediately the loss occurs. Any compulsory action by the unit will not take place until the beginning of the next move unless it is a charging unit, when the order will apply from the point where fire was taken. To determine a unit’s missile morale, take a basic morale factor of 80 and add or subtract the following: 1. 2. 3.

From Table 3 on the morale combat chart, determine the unit’s random factor by throwing one die and cross referencing this score with the unit’s M rating. Add or subtract this result to the basic morale rating factor Turn to the total loss factor table, Table 2, and compare the unit’s present fighting factor with its initial fighting factor and subtract the result, if any, from 1 above Finally, add or subtract any tactical factors from Table 4

Result The resulting score is now cross-referenced on the Morale Results Table to determine the unit’s course of action next move, or this move if it is charging.

Melee Combat A melee will take place when two or more opposing units come into contact with each other. All melee calculations will be made at the end of each move. Charging A unit may charge once in every three moves but may use its charge rate continually when pursuing a unit which it has routed, or which is attempting to evade it. Open order sling and bow armed troops may not initiate a charge. Counter-Charging A unit wishing to counter-charge may elect to do so even in its own firing move. For a unit to mount an effective counter-charge it will not be able to fire if it is at close range. If at long range it may fire before starting its charge. An infantry unit may only counter-charge another charging infantry unit. Pursuit Pursuit, after a melee, is automatic of the first move, except for artillery crews who never pursue, M1 class infantry and other units who are with the C-in-C and who may choose their action. On the second and subsequent rounds of pursuit all units except M3 class may break off the pursuit. M3 class units may attempt to break off pursuit by throwing one die: 1-4 and they must continue the pursuit; 5-6 and they may break off the pursuit. Routing units and their pursuers will move and melee each move, ignoring the firing and non-firing move rules. Evading Open order sling and bow armed troops and artillery crews must attempt to evade an attacker. Other open order troops may evade as necessary. An evade move must be declared immediately the charge is announced and is then a move straight back without allowing for any turn deduction. The evading unit will finish with its back to the enemy and will be unformed at the end of the move. Gallic Infantry Gallic infantry have a special melee rule to simulate the throwing of their javelins as they charge home, and then reverting to the use of their large flat swords. To represent this, Gallic swordsmen will count as javelin armed troops in the first round of melee. In the second and subsequent rounds they will count as sword armed troops.

Flank Attacks When an attacking unit engages another in flank, or only part of an enemy unit counter, it will count only half its present fighting factor in the first round of melee. In the second and subsequent rounds of the same melee the unit may count its full fighting factor, if not engaged by more than one enemy unit. Note: Infantry may only advance to engage enemy cavalry in a melee if the cavalry are already engaged in a stationary melee.

Attacker

These units may only use half their present fighting factor in the first round of melee

Defender

Attacker

Attacker Defender

This unit will use half its present fighting factor against each attacking unit in all rounds of the melee

Attacker

Attacker Defender

In this instance both attacking units will count their full present fighting factor in the second and subsequent rounds of melee. The defending unit will count its full present fighting factor to its front and also one quarter of its present fighting factor to its attacked flank

Melee Calculation When two or more unit counters come into contact with each other a melee will result. To determine the result of the melee proceed as follows: 1. 2. 3.

From Table 1 on the Melee Chart, determine the unit’s weapon factor by cross-referencing the unit’s present fighting factor with the type of enemy it is engaging, in the appropriate weapon section Add or subtract to 1 above any tactical factors that apply Finally, throw one die and cross-reference the score with the unit’s M rating in the Random Factor Table. Add or subtract the result to 2 above.

Result Any positive result is the number of fighting factors lost by the opposing unit. If more than one unit is opposing, divide the result in proportion to the number of units engaged. Ignore any negative results. 4.

Repeat steps 1 to 3 above for the opposing unit

Melee Morale This is a continuation of the melee and such tests should be taken by the unit losing the most factors in the melee round. 5. 6. 7. 8.

After 4 above, determine which unit as lost the melee, i.e. the unit losing the most fighting factors, and its loss factor from Table 1 From the Tactical Factor Table add or subtract any relevant tactical factors to 5 above Turn to the Total Loss Factor Table, Table 2. Compare the unit’s present fighting factor with its initial fighting factor and subtract the result, if any, from 6 above Throw one die and cross-reference the score with the unit’s ‘M’ rating on the Random Factor Table. Add or subtract this result to 7 above

Result Using the resulting factor consult the Morale Results Table to determine any compulsory action which the unit must carry out next move. GOOD PUSHED BACK RETREAT 1 MOVE ROUT

The unit may carry on the with the melee or take any other optional action Tthe unit is pushed back 10mm, giving the opposing unit the option to follow up The unit must retreat facing the enemy for one move, giving the opposing unit the option to follow up The unit will turn, without penalty, and move at rout speed directly away from the melee. In the following moves, if not rallied, it must attempt to move directly towards its own base line.

Retreat to Cover Applies to missile morale only, and means that the unit must retreat, facing the enemy, to the nearest cover. Cover is defined as: to the rear of friendly close order or order troops. Once in cover the unit must remain stationary for one move.

Note on Routing Units A routing unit may move round other friendly units if those units are not touching it, and there is a gap, at least 10mm wide, to one flank. If neither of these cases applies the routing unit must break through them. Attacker Defender

Appendix One – Creating Terrain To make up terrain features for this game proceed as follows: Hills Cut hill contours from brown or grey card, in varying sizes and shapes, and mark the crest line on each:

1" to 2"

2" to 4"

6" to 10"

Place on top, lining up the crest lines at either end.

4" to 6"

Dead ground, broken ground and soft sand Cut irregular shape between 4” and 6” long by 1” to 3” wide from coloured card different to that which is used for the hills. Mark each piece with the type of ground that it represents. Scrub and wood can also be made in this way using green card. Road, rivers and bridges All such terrain features can be indicated on the playing area by using coloured chalks.

Appendix Two - Deciding the Winner Set up the terrain and before placing the unit counters in their start positions decide which game type is to be played: Allocate points, between 50 and 200 to various terrain features Or, determine some action which the attacker must take to achieve victory i.e. clear the road off the board or take the main hill in the defender’s centre. To achieve victory the attacker must either take more terrain points than the defender holds at the end of the game, for the first case, or achieve his objective for the second case. Type of Game It is suggested that the type of game played is that of attack/defence, where one side occupies a defensive position and the other side assaults that position. The defender should occupy positions which cover at least three quarters of the width of the playing area, and his forces should be set up before the attacker determines the start positions for his units. Campaigns For the purpose of campaigns use the following scale: Battlefield ½ mile = 400mm One pair of moves = ½ hour Writing Orders In the basic game, when each side has set out its unit counters, both commanders write general orders for each section of their army. These orders will be carried out and may only be changed by the C-in-C counter being moved to the units concerned in the new orders. Individual units may be given specific orders if required, and artillery must be given specific targets or target priorities, which may only be changed by the C-in-C.

Appendix Five – Rules clarifications Question If a routing unit breaks through another friendly unit what status does this unit become? If charging units move in phase 2 of the movement sequence, how can counter charging units move if they will become adjacent at the end of the move? If a pursuit after a melee is automatic for the first move, may pursuing units move in phase 1 of the enemy’s next move turn? When units are pushed back as the result of a morale check do the opposing units following up, move in phase 1 of the next move? May pursuing units move in their enemy’s move turn? At what rate does an evading unit move? In the second and subsequent rounds of melee, what factor does a flanked unit have to its front and flank? Is it possible to fire on an enemy which is behind another unit (friendly or enemy)? Are losses of melee calculation step 1 taken into account by the opposing unit in melee calculation step 4?

Response Unformed Measure the charge distance of both charging and counter charging units, they will meet at the halfway point Yes, if they do not wish to break off the pursuit they remain in contact unless the routing unit moves faster. They follow up automatically as it is assumed to be at the same time. Only when in contact with a routing unit. Charge rate. The unit will have full factor to the front and ¼ to the flank. No, this is classed as in dead ground. No, they are considered to be simultaneous.
