GMT: Command & Colors - Ancients (English)

Command and Colors: Ancients is a war game for two players that simulates some of the great battles from the early military conflicts in 3000 BC to the beginning of the Middle Ages in 400 AD.

The game includes 15 different scenarios, which are historical battles of very different magnitudes, Bagradas, Cannae, and Zama among others. Command & Colors places great emphasis on combat in various terrains and historical accuracy, making the battles as close to the original conflicts as possible. In some scenarios, an infantry piece represents a Roman legion of soldiers, and in other scenarios, it represents a few brave warriors.

The game is driven by a command card system, which is used for movement, creates a Fog of War that makes it impossible to know the enemy's intentions, and creates both challenges and opportunities. There are four types of command cards: Leadership cards, Section cards, Troop cards, and Tactic cards.

The battles are conducted with unique dice that have different outcomes depending on which troops are fighting.

Command and Colors: Ancients is a Richard Borg game, and it builds on some of the same core mechanics found in Memoir '44 and Battlelore, which are also made by Richard Borg.
