I know people who sell it here in Nashville but I haven't seen it played. I do also know that there was a tournament in NashCon for it, so I guess the outlook up here isn't that bad. For Miami no idea though.

I used to play it way back, but using 15 mm figs, is a cool set of rules that is actually historically based on ancient civs.

Re: Warhammer Ancient Battles?
You can use your Empire army to start things off...WAB uses the saem size models as WHFB. I have the regular rulebook and the Armies of Antiquity Rulebook. Played the Huns previously, which were a lot of fun to play. Was thinking of playing Samurai next. Most games are designed to be played with armies from the same era/location...so an early Roman army shouldn't be playing a Samurai, but you can do it. Lot of fun for the game...far less cheese then WHFB or WH40K, no magic phase...leadership is far more important. There are still uber-units/armies, but they aren't as prevelant, nor are they as broken (unless you're using a mostly Elephant Indian army...then you're just a douche!). At any rate, it has many of the same mechanics as WHFB, with a few positive changes. Loads of fun!

Re: Warhammer Ancient Battles?
Romans are of course, VERY good, joel mentioned that this was a Battlefront thing that they partnered with this other company named Warlords, warlords makes 28mm plastic ancient figs, but so far they only have Celts and romans, the figs look pretty nice though, but 28mm is kinda big .. how big are the warhammer figs ? 25mm ?

they have rules for pretty much all the ancient civs, for spartans of other countries you would prob have to get them from another maker. Warlords SO FAR only makes plastic romans and celts.

Re: Warhammer Ancient Battles?
Back to WAB, I was checking out some of the models from foundry. And damn if they aren't expensive. So, does anyone actually play this game or have an army?
