Mark, Matt and Austin give you their Pros and Cons about Osprey's wargame rules for ancient Greek hoplite warfare titled Men of Bronze! The rules include historical scenarios for large battles and claim to be scale agnostic...so we used them for both the Battle of Thermopylae on Little Wars TV and for the Battle of Marathon on our channel. We played them for several other historical battles and ran into some issues making them work. This review is based on those experiences.

If you use them for large skirmish games with single based figures you might have a better experience that we did.

You can find an FAQ for the rules here:
