Step into the sandals of legendary commanders and take charge of powerful ancient armies in Battalion: War of the Ancients! Lead the majestic Roman legions and their formidable allies, strategize with the skilled crossbowmen of the Han dynasty as they navigate treacherous deserts, or unleash the famed Greco-Bactrian cavalry to stake your claim over precious oases. Moreover, direct the diverse forces of Hannibal, complete with mercenaries, majestic elephants, and the prestigious Sacred Band of Carthage.

To lead is an art of balance and strategy. Choose your historical faction wisely, analyze their ranks, and assemble them into tactical units. As battles unfold, you'll need to deftly manage their orders while keeping your forces sustained on the battlefield. Each rank tile possesses unique traits that can bolster your units, but beware—overloading them may lead to chaos in your ranks!

Battalion: War of the Ancients is designed for 2 to 4 players, offering an engaging mix of strategy and accessibility. Command an array of units from four distinct historical factions, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. Utilize faction-specific tactics cards to outsmart your rivals and adapt your strategies as the tides of battle shift. Build your forces with intention, maintain precise control of your battle tempo, and emerge victorious for your civilization!
