Kuhlmann, Kurt EPIC OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR: Wargame
Two to four players use military force and political influence in their struggle to control the city-states of ancient Greece. Playing time ranges from 4-10 hours for short scenarios, to 20+ hours for the full campaign game, as players mobilize forces four times a year, and deploy them three times each season. Players have a full range of strategic options, including sieges, constructing and destroying fortifications, razing enemy cities, foraging, and raiding. Event Cards provide random events (such as storms at sea, bad omens, the crippling plague at Athens, etc.) and strategic targets (such as city betrayals, rebellion of Athenian regions, Persian support, the Sicilian Expedition). Scenarios include: the introductory Argive League scenario, played on only a portion of the map; three scenarios that cover only a portion of the war; and the full Campaign Game for 2-4 players (adding Thebes and Corinth to the Peloponnesian side as the third and fourth players). Contains two 34 x 22-inch full color maps, 560 full-color counters, deck of 120 event cards, one rulebook with eight scenarios, leader display sheets, and dice.1 vol, 1 pgs

Tile-based wargame inspired by epic battles from ancient history. Choose a faction, consider its ranks, assemble them into units, and carefully balance their orders and sustain your forces in the field.
