Assemble your armies and maintain order in this dynamic strategy board game inspired by epic battles of ancient history. Take command of the powerful Roman legions and their allies. Lead the mighty crusaders of the Han dynasty as they traverse unknown deserts. Guide the famous light cavalry of the Greeks-Bactrians and fight for every oasis. Manage Hannibal's diverse band of mercenaries, the elephants, and the Sacred Phalanx of Carthage. To lead, you must balance carefully. Choose a faction, examine its classes, assemble them into units, and as they battle, balance their commands and keep your forces on the field. The unique features of each class will make your units stronger, but if you combine too many, your units will become unwieldy. Battalion: War of the Ancients is an accessible game for 2 to 4 players. Command a wide range of units from four historical factions, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Use special faction tactic cards to overcome your opponents. Form your unique forces with rigor. Assess the pace of battle with precision. Secure victory for your people!
