Simon Hall's new ancients rule set came out to day and I have signed up and ordered a copy. These are called "Mortem et Gloriam" and they look pretty nice. I am hoping this is a really good successor to DBM because I really enjoy ancients wargaming.

Since the end of the DBM 'glory days' I have struggled to find something I am happy with.  I still play a bit of DBM but the pool of players is quite dispersed and relatively small

What follows is only my opinion and I know others see things very differently and I don't want to stop people enjoying the system of their choice.

FoGAM seemed to me a retrograde step more akin to the old WRG systems rather than a progression. I hated the one and only competition I entered - never felt like that before and didn't like it at all.

DBMM seemed to me to take us even further down the WRG rabbit hole.

AdlG just doesn't feel right, the 200pt game seems a bit like big DBA. I have tried to like it but it doesn't quite do it for me.
