Description

More of a game proposal than a full game, the rules are given in Panzerfaust #52. "The reader is warned that this is not a tested game, and there may well be some contradictions in the rules; yet, it looks as if it might be fun. I apologize in advance for the inevitable mistakes to follow. The purpose of this article is only to make a beginning at planning a strategic game for the classical era." Initially inspired by Bruce Belcher's Metaurus minigame in Panzerfaust #50, it uses the Anzio board and 60 'chips' to represent control and units.
