Gameplay: Command & Colors Ancients is Richard Borg's most popular wargame, using his command card system.

In Command & Colors : Ancients, 15 battles of varying sizes are potrayed, focusing on important terrain features and historical forces.

The command card system details movement and actionsl with four types being in-play: Leadership, Section, Troop and Tactic cards. Through the play of these cards during the game (normally one per turn); players will send their troops across the board to meet their opponent.
