Field Commander: Alexander
Players assume the role of Alexander the Great and guide his campaigns from 338 BC onward, choosing where to travel, when to fight, when to negotiate, and when to consult prophetic guidance. Gameplay uses a mix of military and non-military resources—Infantry, Archers, Phalanxes, Cavalry, Advisers, Scholars, Courtesans, and Spies—which players allocate and combine to accomplish campaign objectives. Play is divided into sequential campaigns that can be played individually or linked into a continuous career; outcomes in one campaign influence the starting conditions of the next. Strategic planning, tactical battles, diplomatic choices, and managing oracle predictions determine success.

He de decir que las expectativas eran bajas, pero bueno, leí un par de reseñas y me animé a pillar una copia en el mercado de segunda mano. El juego tiene ideas originales: Las profecías, el sistema de Gloria, el oráculo. Pero al final jugando vas a buscar un motor de eficiencia y en mi caso he dado con el tras dos partidas, de decisiones vas justito porque al final siempre usas las misas tácticas, las mas eficientes, y al final va de "chetar" a Alejandro y hacer todo lo que puedas con el usando al resto de tropas de Punching Ball. Una vez que consigues dar con el motor al final es una carrera contra el tiempo donde las tiradas de forajeo son las que van a decidir si haces más o menos puntos porque tengas que terminar el turno antes, pero vamos que si te lo montas y tienes suerte sacas mas puntos y si no tienes suerte pues puntuarás menos.
halbert825.0 Wargame en solitari: Molt interessant les primeres partides, es torna repetitiu rapidament. Les batalles resulten massa "complicades" quan es roben moltes "orders" d'enemics. Hi ha una "order" massa poderosa d'Alejandro que fa que sempre escullis la mateixa tàctica...
