| Description: | A serious wargame with pre-built scenarios covering the Battles of Hydaspes (326 BCE), Zama (202 BCE), Cynocephalae (197 BCE), Pharsalus (44 BCE), and Chalons (451 CE). Gfx are adequate if uninspiring. A scenario generator was included which made for game longevity. Even today, just as on it's release, the game benefits from lack of competition covering this period. | ||
