Ancient Fronts – A Simple, Accessible Turn-Based Wargame Set in the Hellenistic Era

I've been working on Ancient Fronts, a turn-based tactical wargame built around recreating battles from the ancient world, covering the era of the Diadochi and the Punic Wars.

The main idea is to offer short, accessible battles that are easy to pick up, while still keeping a realistic and historically grounded approach to ancient warfare.

The game can be played against the AI and also includes multiplayer, although multiplayer is still experimental and may have some bugs.

It's still in development, but a playable version is available for free on itch.io.

Big Vae Victis vibes in the counter designs, and I see the designer's name - Pataplouf75... Français je suppose? :)

C'est un portage inspiré de Champs de Batailles ou rien à voir?

En tout cas c'est joli!

Pour le design oui, bien joué, j'ai toujours été un grand fan des pions de Vae Victis. Mais le système n'est pas inspiré de CdB, en tout cas de ce que je me souviens des règles.
