What is Ars Bellum
Relive the great battles of Antiquity and at the head of your army, impose your power on your opponent!
ARS BELLUM is a game of medium complexity, allowing you to simulate all the battles of antiquity. The mechanics are concentrated on 5 pages of rules, for a 16-page booklet with illustrations and scenarios. The whole is easily learned. This system can be a game of discovery of wargames, but also a system that will satisfy the most seasoned players.
This game seeks to have the best compromise between historicity (orders of battle, aspect of the units) and playability.
Players play out the battles of the proposed scenarios, which are descirbed on A4 or A3 maps. Their style is simple and clean. The duration of a game is 1 to 2 hours.
