Classic Warfare: Rules for Ancient Warfare from the Pharaohs to Charlemagne is a wargame written by Gary Gygax and published by TSR in 1975. It was a set of miniature rules originally developed for International Federation of Wargaming fanzine in 1969 and later revised for Wargamer's Digest May 1974 issue.

Description

Classic Warfare is a 68-page ring bound book. It covers the Ancient Period: from 1500 BC to 500 AD,[1] and utilizes miniatures at 1:30 ratio. In the April 1976 issue of the Strategic Review, Gygax dedicated two articles, one for medieval flag symbols and one for missile weapon range, to be used in conjunction with the rule-set.

David M. Ewalt, in his book Of Dice and Men, called the game "a set of Gygax-authored rules for reenacting battles 'from the Pharaohs to Charlemagne.'"[2]
