Great Battles of Alexander |
Strategy and Wargaming Game from Interactive Magic, by Erudite Software
Turn-based war-game. It is a conversion of a board-based original. It recreates 10 of Alexander's battles, from Chaeronea (338 BC) to Hydaspes (326 BC). These can be played as a campaign (always playing the Macedonians) or individually (controlling either side). Significantly, armies are automatically placed at the beginning of each scenario, based the starting position of the historical battles. There is also a two-player mode, for games via modem/serial connection or LAN.
The game is played on hex-based maps, which include varied terrain. The command system revolves around the commanders in your army, each exerts a range of control and if your forces become too spread out this can result in defeat. Initiative also plays an important part. The games graphics and interface are reasonable.
