The Great Battles of Epaminondas

An expansion module that recreates two fragmentary battles commanded by the Theban general Epaminondas: Leuctra (371 B.C.) and Mantinea (362 B.C.). Designed for use with the base system and the Diadochoi module, it supplies scenario-specific orders of battle and terrain setups. Play emphasizes short, sharp engagements that typically resolve in a couple of turns; scenarios are recommended for solitaire use due to balance issues. Components and rules integrate with the host game's mechanics to let players run these historical encounters within the same command-and-movement framework.
