About the game

What you do in a play session

The Great Battles of Alexander: Deluxe Edition is the souped-up version of the classic wargame that started the acclaimed Great Battles of History series. Here, you relive Alexander the Great's epic campaigns with colorful maps, detailed counters, and updated rules that capture Macedonian warfare. It features 10 historical battles (including Juggernaut module content), diverse armies (Persians, Greeks, even war elephants!), and command systems reflecting period tactics. Expect hours of hexagonal strategy where every decision can turn the tide – literally. Gorgeous but complex: don't expect to master it in one afternoon. Perfect for military history buffs who aren't intimidated by thick rulebooks and combat tables.
