Description Edit | History

Re-working of the classic GMT game of warfare in the age of the Roman Republic, out of print for many years now. The deluxe edition contains the five scenarios, maps and counters from the original SPQR, plus nine additional scenarios (and the requisite maps and counters) taken from various expansion modules. This major revision makes available again a key part of the brilliant Great Battles of History Series.

5 doublesided maps
6 counter sheets

1 Rule Comparisons with Alexander and Caesar V1.0
The GBoH has a different ruleset for each Module. But many of the rules are the same. This chart is meant to summerise those "finer points" that I often get confused between the modules Alexander, SPQR and Caesar:Conquest of Gaul. Hopefully you will find this helpful as you alternate your play between these Modules.
