 Rule the Ancient World
Assyrian Wars brings us back to the time of the ancient
Mesopotamia.
Assyrian Wars covers the ruler period of the last four great
Assyrian Kings and the decline and Fall period till the destruction
of the Assyrian Empire and the defeat of their Egyptian Allies,
from 722 to 605 BC.
722 BC: Sargon II becomes King
in Nineveh as new "King of the World". A couple of
problems threaten the strongest and most effective Army the world
has seen so far.
In the West an Assyrian Army is inflicting a hunger siege on
Samaria in Israel. Will the Egyptian Pharaoh interfere?
In the North the rampaging Uratu Kingdom is threatening the Assyrian
borders.
In the South Mardukkapallidin has become King of Babylonia. He
started a revolt against Assyria, the mighty Elam in the Southeast
joined him.
In the East the innumerable Mede tribes become a growing threat.
The first signs of a large migration from the North consisting
of Cimmerian and Scythian tribes become visible. And all those
minor state tribute refusers who need to be punished!
Will you as the Assyrian King maintain your Empire? Or will you
as Babylonia, Mede, Elam, or Egypt free the world from Assyrian
Tyranny?
Assyrian Wars is a multi player game, but with the
Assyrian player against all others. Temporary Alliance changes
possible. Conflicting trade interests may cause minor conflicts.
Each game turn represents the
ruler period of one Assyrian King, the last turn decline and
fall. Turns are divided into impulses. Follow the order of states
on the impulse track each card played represents an impulse.
Assyrian Wars combines the advantages of point to point games
with the Blitzkrieg General system reckoning ancient warfare.
Assyrian Wars gives an easy entry for beginners.
Still the game provides complex games situations depending on
players strategy. Every game is different for nobody knows which
random cards a player gets in addition to his fixed home cards.
For the experienced players there are challenging specials like
Heavy Infantry, Light Infantry, Bowmen, Heavy Cavalry, Light
Cavalry, Horsebowmen, and Chariots.
Assyrian Wars allows detailed siege warfare. 87 cities
are waiting for you to take them.
Can you overcome the massive city walls and water your horses
at the Rivers of Babylon?
