Box Description
Introducing the updated, expanded, full-color enhanced version of the best-selling, multi-award winning game system that started the classic Great Battles of History Series. The Great Battles of Alexander (third printing) includes new updated game counters, new revised mapsheets, new game packaging, and the battles and scenarios covering the major battles from the original First Edition game, and the Juggernaut Module, plus five additional battles - that's TEN great battles in all.
