Based on the fantasy Lost Worlds game books (but incompatible with the Lost Worlds system). Each player uses a book and a stat sheet that represent their 'mech.

LACTORs are a series of translations of source material for the study of Ancient History and Classical Civilisation, which do not assume any knowledge of ancient Greek or Latin on the reader's part. They bring before the reader a wide range of Greek and Roman literary texts, documents, inscriptions and coins, which illuminate the history and civilisation of many areas and periods of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. They are particularly, but not exclusively, designed for use in sixth form or high school courses and university undergraduate programmes. LACTORs were initially published under the aegis of the London Association of Classical Teachers (L.A.C.T.), starting in 1968, but are now published by the LACTOR Committee, an independent non-profitmaking body.

The series editors (Mark Grimsley, Brooks D. Simpson and Steven E. Woodworth) designed the guides to fill the wide gap between the National Park Service battlefield brochures and the excellent but complex U.S. Army War College battlefield guides. Guides provide the reader not only with concise narratives of what happened, but analyze why it happened, and incorporate numerous vignettes to bring the action to life. They are designed to require no more than eight hours to complete. Perhaps most importantly, each stop is accompanied by at least one and usually two or three maps that systematically convey the development of the action.
