Rules for LoA

It mean me no savvy "Too the Strongest".

It's a set of Ancient rules. Played on a table with 4" squares marked. Playing my first game with DaveL at the moment. So far seems easy to pick up, plays quickly but effectively.
Mollinary is more experienced than me on the rules and believe he recently played a large demo game. He might be able to fill in some 'blanks' so to speak.

I think you will find it's a comment on the use of 'too' instead of 'to'.

I think Cam is at his most perspicacious!  But just in case, TtS is a grid based set of Ancient rules which allow big battles to be played quickly (at 'The Other Partizan' we played Raphia to an exciting conclusion with six players, most of them unfamiliar with the rules, in two and a quarter hours). Dice throwing is replaced by drawing cards from a pack of 80 cards,  eight each of numbers 1-10 ( so two normal packs put together with the court cards removed). Mechanisms are simple and quick to pick up. At present I am working with Simon Miller, the author, on producing an ECW variant. Currently being playtested.

Its this typilnmg thing - I often hither wrong keys and then have too apples put up with auyttogpehuyhrevt cutting on swell.

Donnybrook - this is smaller scale actions than I'm looking for.

Granted, you will probably have made your decision long ago, but here's a new one that might be eligible for consideration. Although the cover suggests ECW/TYW, apparently these are usable up to the Great Northern War (which obviously surpasses the LoA). Basing might be problematical (although the Rules may have something to say about that) but, for those starting from scratch, perhaps Leman's idea of multiple 10mm figures per base instead of 1 28mm figure per base might be the solution.

[Leman]

Well that's how I play both Dux Britanniarum and Contemptible Little Armies. Incidentally, although this may be some way off yet, I believe To the Strongest are being worked on to provide possibilities up to the Seven Years War. Basing would probably mirror the 3x40mm frontage base unit currently appearing in Baroque.
