In this video, I take a closer look at two historical tabletop wargaming rulebooks from the On Bloody Ground series by WIP Games and Miniatures: The Wars of the Roses and The Punic Wars. Written by David and Daniel Toone, these rules are a streamlined descendant of classic systems like Warhammer Ancient Battles, designed for fast, tactical tabletop battles without unnecessary complexity. I discuss the core mechanics, how the rules capture the feel of each historical period, and whether they can work with different miniature scales—including my own 6mm multi-based armies. Are these rules accessible for beginners? Do they offer enough depth for experienced players? And can they handle everything from English civil war battles to Roman legions and Carthaginian war elephants? Let’s take a closer look at how this flexible rules engine performs on the tabletop.
