Disappointing - By: Mike Johnston, 18 Nov 2008 
The book looks good - reminding me very much of the Warhammer style of production. However the disappointment is the comparatively small number of actual army listsin the book, especially when compared to the De Bellis Multitudinus army list books. Also there are no dates on the front of the book so you really have to know your ancient history chronology to know where it fitsin the series. I also didn't find the lists that easy to use - maybe just me though. Nice pictures but if you're into wargaming this period you'll probably have the Osprey books that some of the pictures are taken from & thus feel, like I did, slightly cheated. Given that you will need to buy about 12 of these books as well as the rules, then, IMHO, not worth the money. Again, IMHO, you'd be better off putting up with the flawsin the DBM or even DBMM rules & lists & spend the money you save on some more figures..
Keeping up appearances - By: Prof Robert J. Pooley, 24 Apr 2008 
I wasn't sure initially how far I would use this, since I have only dabbledin the armies of Hellas & their contemporaries. I was pleasantly surprised at the coverage & , particularly, the inclusion of Early Carthage (although you might argue that it would have been better to arrange to have the two Carthage armiesin one volume, but that's not happening).
Good layout, god background, excellent starter armies. Classical Greek only requires 40 bases of hoplite :)
Worth the wait.
