Polemos ACW is therefore produced as two sets of rules in one book.

The first set, On They Came, will allow the wargamer to fight battles with armies of up to corps size.

The second set, Crisis of Allegiance, will allow the wargamer to refight the BIG battles of the period.

The same wargames figures may be used in both sets of rules, as the basing system is universal - only the nominal scale will differ.

Polemos ACW is aimed at enabling the wargamer to fight large scale actions; actual battles, rather than small scale skirmishes. Systems for firing, melee and morale are straightforward and easy to learn, but allow your troops to emulate the tactics used by their historical counterparts.

You can also buy these rules as a pdf download from Wargames Vault.

Polemos ACW Companion

The Companion extends the background material from the rulebook adding extra army generators and scenarios for COA and OTC, orders of battle, a campaign system, historical background and designer's notes.
