Civitates Bellantes

Civitates Bellantes is an adaptation of the Comitatus mehcanisms to cover the entire era of ‘classical’ antiquity (500 BC-AD 200). These are still a work in progress and I am developing them together with Caoimhín Boru.

Although these rules are designed around the same principles as Comitatus, they also have unique features which capture the flavour of the period. Civitates is suitable for ‘epic’ classical battles using any figure scale or base sizes. A unique feature of the rules is the treatment of a full legion as a single unit with the ability to conduct line relief.

The Scenarios section of this site contains several sample battles suitable for playing with Civitates.
