STRATEGY & TACTICS # 354: Eagles of Rome I: Caesar

1-930354

Grand tactical two-player system for battles of the Roman Era, from the Republic through the Empire to the early Byzantine era. Covers the battles of the Late Republic to the Early Empire (roughly 120 BC to AD 250). Players command armies of various types of forces, from Roman legions to barbarian hordes, with distinctions between melee and fire combat, plus special tactics. Morale is a critical factor. Caesar is played in scenarios. Each scenario represents a historical battle. Units represent three to five Roman cohorts, their equivalents, or amorphous groupings of irregulars (1,000 to 3,000 men, based on the era and efficiency of the army). Leaders represent single great commanders, war chiefs, or the staff of a legion or other higher formation. Contains one 22 x 34-inch game map and a sheet of 176 5/8-inch counters.
