Slitherine

The theme of the clever little two-player 300: Earth & Water board game is the Greco-Persian Wars, which lasted for 50 years from the Ionian Revolt in 499 BC to the Peace of Callias around 449 BC. In this Field of Glory campaign (Earth & Water), adding the component of land battles being resolved in Field of Glory II: Ancients, the time scope is widened to begin in the mid-sixth century BC and end in the late fifth century BC, over a maximum of five rounds with changing armies fighting each other:

1. Greek 680-461 BC versus Achaemenid Persian 553-546 BC.
2. Spartan 680-461 BC with Greek 680-461 BC allies versus Achaemenid Persian 545-481 BC.
3. Spartan 680-461 BC versus Achaemenid Persian 480-461 BC.
4. Spartan 460-281 BC with Greek 460-281 BC allies versus Achaemenid Persian 460-420 BC.
5. Greek 460-281 BC versus Achaemenid Persian 419-329 BC.

One player leads the Greek Faction, assembled around Athens and Sparta, and the other the Persian Faction.

In case you're interested to participate as one of the factions, please let me know.

This looks interesting ... I'll download the rules and read through them to see if it's something for me.
