Designed to cover the rise and fall of the Roman empire. These rules are especially suited to refights of historical battles. No, you don't have to rebase your figures. Yes, they play as fast as DBM. No, you won't have to buy new army list books, in fact you can use the armies you use for other rules. Included are morale rules so that bad troops run away, good troops hang around a bit longer. General figures don't fight but have command and combat ratings to inspire the troops that do. The rules are designed to encourage historical tactics.

The rules are available as a downloadable PDF format (£3.50) in a zip file, or as a CD (£7.50) which we will send to you post free. The download is compressed to prevent it automatically opening in the browser; instead you should "Save to Disk" and decompress it using a utility such as WinZip (or Windows XP can do it automatically). The CD includes the battle scenarios and army list conversion examples, which you can also download for free here. If you don't have the Adobe Acrobat reader to view PDF files, visit Adobe.com and follow the link at the top of the page to download a copy.

If you choose to download the rules, after paying (via PayPal - you don't need to be a PayPal member; you can pay through them with a credit card) you will be sent to a new page, where you enter your order email address. This will confirm your details and you have 7 days in which to download the Die is Cast zip file (5.3Mb).
