Product Description

Review
"Rise of Rome covers the period 280BC to 25BC, taking in the most significant wars of Republican Rome. The book contains 18 armies: the Romans, their enemies such as Carthage and the Seleucods, and significant allies. Each army has several pages giving it a quick start list and a more extensive list for choosing a bigger army to a points value. The lists are accompanied by historical notes and pictures. There is also a short history of the period, a single battle description with map, and a section on doing themed tournaments." -Richard Milner, "DAKKA DAKKA"
On "Rise of Rome "and "Storm of Arrows:
""[These are "Field of Glory's"] two companions, providing detailed army lists for their respective periods covering every conceivable opponent - and quite a few that I hadn't even heard of despite what I thought was extensive reading about both periods... Highly recommended..." -John Prigent, "Internet Modeler" (March 2008)
Both "offer fine companion volumes for players, providing clear specifics on regional battles and history. Hundreds of researched troop types are accompanied by maps, art and overviews perfect for military libraries and any specializing in wargaming." -"California Bookwatch" (April 2008)

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet but a bit short, 28 Feb 2008
By S. P. Turner "AgentMulderUK" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Production and presentation exemplary, as expected.

Each army is prefaced with a short introduction and also some very nice Osprey imagery and even the odd painted figure snapshot. Nothing amazingly useful for the hardened game/historian, but it doesn't claim to be a history book. As an introduction to any period, however, it's really nice material to whet the appetite.

As the previous reviewer noted, it could well have been filled out with more lists. All the classics are covered, but the "unsuals" have been left out, probably because they are not part of the quite narrow theme of the book. Some of the quirkier options form old army lists are omitted. Possible because those oddities caused too many problems or were rarer than rare in actuality. No doubt some of these will be claimed by later books.


The author has seemed to made good efforts in making FoG armies not vary too much from your old DBM army. My Gaul army, for example, was almost the same,base for base, in DBM or FoG. Useful. Most armies have different allied sub-lists to add also, just as was done in DBM.


ARMIES COVERED IN THIS BOOK

4.0 out of 5 stars Very well thought out army lists, 27 Mar 2008
By Andy Watkins "(Captain Kremmen)" (Reading, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Funnily enough I think the army lists are cauting more contention over whether they are value for money than the rules, (which most people agree are an excellent set of rules)

Well here is my opinion:-

Do you like the rules (I do) - then you have to buy at least the army lists for the period you are interested in or you can't play the game! Having said that I intend to buy the lists for periods I do not currently have armies for as I find them excellent and interesting books to read.

I have seen a lot of people say "they are more expensive than DBM lists". Yes they are but their production values etc are much higher. I think it would be fairer to compare them with WAB army list books which have similar high production values, make interesting reads and cost as I remember about twice as much!!

Particularly if you buy them at Amazon where they are offered at a considerable discount I think they are good value for money

So I would say.
If you don't intend to play the game - don't buy the army lists
If you aren't sure do as I did and buy the rules plus one army list book
If you like the rules but don't have too much money to spare just buy the army books you have to buy for your army
If you have a little more money to waste on frivolous purchases then these are an excellent candidate, and let's be honest how many things do we buy that we don't "need"? Quite a lot :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Colourful army lists, 18 Jul 2008
By C. M. CHOWN (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Field of Glory 3: Immortal Fire: Greek, Persian and Macedonian Army List (Field of Glory): Field of Glory Greek, Persian and Macedonian Army List (Field of Glory)

I agree that these are expensive on a 'pound per list' basis. But I like love the artwork and the presentation of the lists themselves is faultless. The real advantage is that they allow gamers with armies based to other rules sets (you know the ones I mean..) to set up straight away without tedious re-basing of figures. Granted the lists are fairly basic in their coverage but I am sure that more obscure lists will follow on the web. Or just adapt the lists you already have.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just about right
Well, there isn't much to say about a book full of army lists. The book has, on the right side of the page, an easy quick reference so you can find the right army list. Read more
Published 13 months ago by Wim Nelis

3.0 out of 5 stars Not many lists for your money
The lists are nicely presented and well structured. However about 18 army lists with a number of additional ally lists is quite a small number for the money. Read more
Published 16 months ago by M. Priest

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing.
Adequately presented, but eighteen lists isn't a lot for the money, and there seems to be much less original thought in this volume than in the rules themselves.
Published 16 months ago by Lector Difficilior
