Hannibal's War is
a two-player, three-player or four-player war game of intermediate
complexity, simulating the struggle to gain control of the western
Mediterranean and the lands surrounding it during the late 3rd century
BC. That struggle historically pitted Rome against Carthage in a titanic
clash that shaped the fate of the Western world for the next several
centuries. The historical scenario therefore also pits two players
against each other, one commanding Rome and the other Carthage. Third
and fourth players can be added, however, to explore the possibilities
had the 2nd Punic War grown even larger through greater Gallic and
Macedonian participation. Each player has a variety of military and
political instruments with which he can attempt to carve out an empire
and annihilate his foes. The game uses an evolution of the system first
presented in the earlier, and much liked, S&T game "1066." It's
designed by S&T Editor Joseph Miranda.
