About the Game

Optio is a quick-play set of miniatures rules for Ancient battles. It's played on a square grid - so no measuring - and eschews dice or other randomizers for a purely deterministic combat system. It's thus "chesslike" in a sense.

The name comes from optio, the title for a centurion's second-in-command in the Roman army.
