Strategy & Tactics Magazine Game #254 Hannibal’s War stock photo – Magazine Game counters unpunched Features: Issue #254 of Strategy & Tactics Magazine 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. Thanks for Looking!
