Introduction These rules are the result of much work by numerous people, to demonstrate that even interpretive history can be made fun and enjoyable in the form of a miniatures game. Our primary purpose has always been to take our interpretive knowledge and express it in game form. To do this we have radically revamped the rules. The new and improved layout, design and text will better explain the game. It should be noted that there are many other fine ancient rule systems in the market place. We encourage players to investigate those avenues of approach. They do something different than Classical Hack, but be assured there are many ways to game. The emphasis here is not on measuring (and debating) ranges to the correct atomic distances or to even micro manage movement with a protractor. It is about playing a game that truly captures the flavor of ancient warfare. Gaming is about having fun, while expressing some acquired knowledge of ancient warfare via painted figures on aesthetically pleasing terrain. I would like to thank all the people who have supported Classical Hack at the many conventions held from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Augusta, Georgia, that actively play in our demonstration games on a regular basis. Also there are the individuals who have taken valuable time from their active lives, to put on their own Classical Hack events at the more prominent national conventions held here in the U.S. We would like especially like to thank Luca Marini, J.T.Respectfully,

Philip J. Viverito
