release notes --

The Punic Wars were arguably the most significant armed struggle in all of
antiquity. Over the course of more than a century the two most powerful
nations in the Mediterranean battled for supremacy. The forces involved,
and the casualties suffered by both sides, were far greater than in any
wars fought before modern times. The outcome of the wars was even greater.
For Carthage it meant total destruction. For Rome it meant rising from a
regional power to become the dominant military force that would rule
Europe and North Africa for hundreds of years to come.

In this first title in the new Ancient Warfare series of games the
primary focus is on the land battles from the second Punic War. The time
period chosen (300-200BC) is designed to encompass battles Rome fought
not only against Carthage, but against their neighboring Italian states,
as well as the subjugation of Celtic and Iberian tribes, and the bloody
fights with the Epirotes. Try your hand as a Consul of Rome, Hannibal,
King Pyrrhus, or one of the other captains in numerous historical
conflicts. You may also face off against an opponent in a balanced
hypothetical match from the "table top series" of battles included.
There are 41 scenarios included (17 historical, 8 hypothetical & 16 from
the Table Top Series) covering actions such as Cannae, Asculum,
Heraclea & Trebbia. The Table Top Series (TTS) are scenarios made up of
evenly matched armies based on points based on the concepts of many of
the miniature gaming rules in existence for this time period of gaming.
