RE: Other Ancient Warfare Games

Yes, the AW games all use the same combat system. As for the Matrix games like Field of Glory, the system is very different, it is classic IGUGO and it works very well; combat is based on the table-top gaming system of the same name. The Field of Glory series is just excellent. I've played it for years and can't recommend it highly enough. To answer your last question, I have had more fun playing Field of Glory than any other single wargame, ancient or otherwise. There is also a very strong community of players. It uses the server-based sort of PBEM and this has proven very successful. You will always be able to get a game, usually within minutes.

Field of Glory is currently undergoing a major revision -- it's all being put into a new code base. Everyone owning the original versions will be entitled to a free upgrade, which seems to me to be a remarkable promise.

Best,

Tim
