Description

“Battle between two Ancient Armies. Bronze Age/Age of the Chariot. Each figure represents a group of 500 men. Victory: You win if you destroy the opposing General or Camp.”

Chits or miniatures are used to represent the combat units. The units come in six types: Heavy Infantry, Light Infantry, Heavy Cavalry, Light Cavalry, General, and Camp.

The game is played on an 8x8 grid (chessboard) representing the battlefield. Each player starts with one unit on each square of his back two rows. Units may not stack.

There are four custom card decks used in the game: the Infantry Deck, Cavalry Deck, Shock Deck, and Missile Deck. The cards are used to initiate movement and combat, and to defend against attacks.
