Wargames…
Turning Point Simulations #01: The Battle of Marathon At under two hours of play time, you can make your own explorations into this battle without scheduling marathon game sessions in order to play. With a mounted, full-color 11 x 17-inch map and just over 175 unit counters, you'll be able to try various strategies and see what differences you can make on the outcome. Units activate by chit-pull per formations and combat includes both melee and ranged fire. Leadership and morale matter (in several ways) and combat results use step reduction and several levels of unit deterioration. The game offers a historical set-up scenario plus variants for both set-up and reinforcements. With the variants, it's possible that the Spartans may finally show up to the battle.
Map: Full-color, 11 x 17-inch mounted mapboard; Pieces: Over 200 full-color, large 5/8-inch die-cut counters; Rulesbook: 8-pages plus one player aid card; Skill Level: Easy. $40.00 USD
