About this game
These games were originally published in Game Fix magazine #1 and were later reissued by One Small Step. The set comprises two complete games using Bill Banks's classic "Ancients" game system of hoplites and charioteers. The Thapsos scenario is a relatively simple meeting of infantry, one side with archers, the other with elephants. The Alexandria scenario adds trireme combat in addition to the infantry. The game includes 100 die-cut counters, two 8.5"×11" full-color maps, tables, scenarios, and rules.
