I played the GBOH system years ago and never really liked it.  Cataphracts was a bit more fun, but the Men of Iron system seems a lot better:

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I really liked Alexander and SPQR. The Attila mod for Cataphract was fun as well.

For Men of Iron I did preorder Blood and Roses. I've always been interested in late medieval wars.

Just took a quick read-through of the rules posted on the GMT site.  They look interesting...maybe a Christmas present to myself....
