MAGNA ACIES! ARMIES & BATTLES - Punic and Macedonian Wars (English language)
 |
This booklet is the first in a series (we hope ...) of our works¸ entitled "Armies and Battles"¸ accompanying "MAGNA ACIES!"¸ our "battle size " rules for 3D wargames for the Ancient age (without the rules¸ therefore¸ this booklet serves you little purpose).
We decided to start from the Punic Wars and the Macedonian Wars because these were probably¸ from a tactical point of view¸ the most interesting conflicts of Antiquity¸ which marked (together with Alexander's campaigns) new reference models for Military Art.
During these conflicts¸ the Romans had to abandon the primitive concept of the simple "attack on the center" to worry about the wings as well¸ while the phalanx ceased to be the most successful formation of Antiquity: fundamental themes¸ as you can well understand¸ decisive for 15 subsequent centuries and even beyond.
This booklet consists essentially of three elements: three "Quickstart Scenarios" (with attached game tables)¸ fifteen "Army Lists" (always with attached game tables) and six "Battle Maps".
Enjoy!
