Commands & Colours: Ancients allows you to re-fight epic battles of the ancient
world. Here the focus is on the two rivals for power in the Western
Mediterranean -- Carthage and Rome. Will you, as Hannibal, triumph over larger
Roman armies; or as Scipio Africanus, will you beat Hannibal with newer tactics
of your own?
Units in both armies can only move and fight when ordered. The command playing
cards supply those orders, providing an element of luck that creates a fog of
war and presents players with both challenges and opportunities. You must
maximize your opportunities by playing your command cards judiciously. How well
you handle the diverse units, their weapons, and the terrain, will determine
victory.
