Description

This email list is intended for historical wargamers and those interested in military history of the ancient and medieval periods, up to about 1500 AD. Discussion of any aspect of ancient and medieval military history, battles, generals, troops, wargames rules, historical interpretation and wargames figures is very welcome.

Although set up by the Society of Ancients, the list is open to all, not just SoA members.
