Mago: Youngest of the Lion's Brood

1996 · Expansion for Base-game

Mago: Youngest of the Lion's Brood

This expansion adds two battle modules and a campaign variant centered on Hannibal’s youngest brother, covering three engagements in 207–203 B.C. Players command Carthaginian and Roman forces in scenarios that include Mago’s return to Spain with Balearic mercenaries and African troops, his invasion up the Po after landing at Genoa, and an alternate-history variant that assumes Mago survives to take part in the Zama campaign. Gameplay uses the same tactical movement, combat resolution, and reinforcements as the base system, with scenario-specific orders of battle, terrain, and victory conditions reflecting historical force compositions and objectives.
