Legio VI is a set of period specific wargames rules designed for large-scale battles using 6mm figures.
They are based on the mechanisms and ideas of earlier rule sets: Legio and Comitatus, which were designed primarily with 25 or 15mm figures in mind
These rules are designed to give a fast-play, simple method of representing the extremely violent, quick skirmishes of prehistoric man. We are looking at twenty to ten thousand years ago, the time of modern man before the invention of metal weapons.
