Alexandros & Spartacus

Alexandros & Spartacus features not one but two great ancient games designed by Mike Markowitz that originally appeared in Command magazine in 1991 and 1992, garnering numerous Charles S. Roberts Award nominations and awards - Alexandors and I Am Spartacus. This expanded edition features both games along with their multiple expansions, three in total, to round out this impressive, DELUXE package with two full-size game maps and updated graphics throughout.

Alexandros: Conquest and Empire covers all of Alexander's campaigns from 334 to 323 BC. One player commands the Macedonians and the other the Persians. Combat can be fought tactically, using a separate battlefield display with units assigned to various sectors of the engagement. I Am Spartacus: The Slave Rebellion Against Rome, 73-71 BC is a simulation of the Third Servile War, the slave revolt that shook the Roman Republic from 73-71 BC. Barring the capture of Rome by the Rebel player, or the capture of Spartacus by the Roman player, both of which are sudden death victories, the game is won on points for territorial control and other key issues.
