Other Ancient Warfare Games

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

Howdy folks,

I know squat about Ancients, but it has always looked interesting from a gaming viewpoint. I do own Gallic Wars, but not thrilled with the combat system and think they would be good with more of an ACW type along with having the casualties applied at the end of the turn. I think ACW and Naps would be better that way as well except in ambush situations for obvious reasons. Anyway, what I was wondering is are all the games in this series play the same way, I assume they do. The other thing I was wondering is if anybody out there has played any of the Ancient games from Matrix, the Fields of Glory series and if so, how do they play, same way or IgoUgo or something different and how does it compare to these and are they more or less fun than these?
