There is a series of games that deal with the Ancient Art of War, called the Great Battles of Ancient History, from GMT Games in the US. These paper and cardboard games deal, on a very detailed tactical level, the battles of Alexander the Great, the Roman Republic, etc.
Now the series moves to Ancient India, detailing the armies and battles of Chandragupta, the Bactrian Empire and other friends and foes. The designers are 2 of the most pre-eminent wargames designers in the United States, having won many awards.
