Review Summary: Rise of Rome amy list
Review: It is hard to put a rating on army lists as everone has their own favorite armies and opinions as to whiach armies should be included in any list. Never the less 'Rise of Rome' deserves a 4 star rating due to its format and usability.
Covering the mid to late Republican era from about 280 BC to 25BC the 39 armies and allies listed give good coverage of the period. Each army has a starter army of around 600 points which gives a quick reference to the basic army set up for quick play and reference. Of course there is a point system for modelling competitive armies to go at each other. The list is clear for ease of use within the 'Field of Glory' rules system and for calculating just how many figures does it take to build your favorite army.
With the quality Osprey pictures and photos of actual painted figures, it is a feast for the eyes to novice and experinced players alike. The novice has an easy reference to start with and the experienced player has something to argue with. What more can a tabletop wargamer want from a list?
