3 GBoH Unofficial DYO Battles Rules and Army/Leader Lists v1996
This zip file contains PDF and Excel files for the unofficial GBoH Competition Play rules and army/leader lists I designed back in 1996 (which is why the version number is 1996). The Excel files contain all the formulas needed so players may update this list as they wish. I will not be maintaining this list.

11 Rule Comparisons with Alexander and Caesar V1.1
The GBoH has a different ruleset for each Module. But many of the rules are the same. This chart is meant to summerise those "finer points" that I often get confused between the modules Alexander, SPQR and Caesar:Conquest of Gaul. Hopefully you will find this helpful as you alternate your play between these Modules. v1.1 More added courtesy of Ralph Shelton
