 * Delete Google search doesn't seem to bring up anything but this article and actual ancient board games. Mvjs   Talking  09:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - I was able to find this article by Alan Emrich about the game. Based on it, the game was successful to go through multiple printings as shown by the evolution of the box cover art.  But aside from this, I was unable to find anything else except for forum posts which aren't reliable sources.  If there were more coverage, I'd keep. -- Whpq (talk) 15:53, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Not sure what the content of this article is, but it would seem relevant (a search revealed the existence of this article, but don't know if it's a review or what).  Fire & Movement #70 article: Ancients Profile, by Bill Banks' Good Industries.  --Craw-daddy &#124; T &#124; 21:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm assuming you found it from here. It appears that Fire & Movement was a publication devoted to board-based strategy wargames.  the wiki article indicates that it had a long publication history.  Alan Emrich is a well-known games writer and that list from his web site is a compnedium of articles he has written.  So there is evidence that there is at least two articles about the game.  However, access to Fire & Movement to review it may be rather difficult.  -- Whpq (talk) 22:02, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
