Do you guys think, especially Luddite, that these rules would lend themselves to historic, I could publish army lists in the ezine

What I would say is...they certainly do.

A historical version may be under development at the moment.   :-/

The big work would be the lists, not the rules.

Agree with that.  Fantasy lists usually need "toning down" for historical.

If the focus was on doing lists for the historical ancient armies covered by the Pendraken Ranges first, it would not take too long and I am sure plenty of people would be keen to help. The Pendraken ranges seem to cover many of the most popular ancient armies such as Greeks so if you did an Early Hoplite Armylist, with options to turn it into a full Early Spartan armylist for example, it is all on one page hopefully.

What armies would you like to see included as a basis?

Would 'Rome and her enemies' be a good start?

Awesome.  From the few bat reps I've seen, it looks as though the Warband mechanics would suit that period rather well :-\

'Rome and her enemies' would be brilliant, possibly followed by 'Dark Ages'.   :D

Rome and her enemies, the Dark Ages from the end of the Roman Empire up to 1066, but maybe only doing the armies with most appeal and having in a points system where players who want to cover the less popular armies can easily produce their own lists. Greek and Persian Wars would also be a favourite.
