Men Of Bronze: Ancient Greek Hoplite Battles (osprey Wargames)

Men of Bronze is a wargame that allows you to play out Classical Greek hoplite battles on the tabletop. Players are Strategos (generals) leading phalanxes of bronze-clad warriors in pursuit of fame, glory, and the honor of their city-states. To win such prizes, however, you must prove your mettle, display your valor, and bring the other Strategos to their knees! Designed to recreate small battles or larger skirmishes with 50 80 figures per side, each army will have its own unique mix of rules, advantages, backgrounds, and abilities. Strategos must understand and appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of their forces in order to win glory on the battlefield. Of course, there's no telling what tricks a rival Stratego might have up their tunic sleeves -
