Warfare from the Dawn of Military History (3000 BC) to the opening of the Middle Ages (400 AD).
The clunkily-named Command & Colors: Ancients uses the same Richard Borg card-driven system used in Memoir ’44 and BattleLore, but it could be argued it is most successful here, with the addition of leaders and a bit more complexity. Ancient battles between Rome and Carthage are covered in the core set, and expansion sets have followed. It’s not as well-produced as the other two games, and it annoys me that they plonked a logo in the middle of the (card) game board, but the wooden blocks with stickers on them have appeal!
As always, your guides are wonderful and this is no exception, thanks. Any intentions to make reference cards for the expansion armies like what you did for the armies in this set?
Thanks,

Thanks. No plans to do more for this game though—sorry to say I lost interest after the core game.
Do you mean you don’t like it anymore (including the core game)?
No, I like the game – it just didn’t sustain my interest enough for me to want to purchase more expansions.
