	Description Edit \| History

The Jewish war
The zealot rebellion against Rome (66 to 73 AD)

The Jewish war (or Great revolt) in the roman province of Judea, was the consequence of roman oppression leaded by Gessius Florus (governor of Judea) against Jews of Galilea & Judea.

Convinced that Romans would destroy his kingdom, the king of Gamala sent a contingent of cavalry in Judea which made the signal waited by the Zealots to trigger their rebellion.

The Zealots (who were in favour of Judea's independence) raise up against garrisons of Arabians auxiliaris based in Judea & Galilea in 66 AD. In spite of their victory against Feoderoti, the Zealots were finally defeated by the intervention of 4 roman legions.

This game was first published by Khyber Pass Games. Then the game was traduced by Frédéric Bey and Pascal Da Silva in France in 2002 and published by Canons en Carton.

BE Herod the Great in this scenario, 9 Turns in length, covering the critical years 39-31BC: first, Win the throne, then Secure it, and finally Keep it. Assuming you survive, judge and compare your results given each of these three tasks at game's end to the Great Builder himself.

The Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-136)

A Scenario for Khyber Pass Games' "The Jewish War" by Robert Ridgeway (2010) This revolt most resembled a guerrilla war, where open set-piece battles were carefully avoided, leaving the weapons of Denial-Of-Support vs. Hearts-And-Minds the order of the day, as both sides also engaged in opportunistic Destruction-In-Detail. The Jews had prepared strategic tunnel and cave systems well in advance, and the Romans were maneuvering in small search-and-destroy details while maintaining a grip on the Towns (populace). There are only 5 turns - the years 132-136 - for the Romans to quash this, the 3rd Jewish Rebellion in just over 7 decades.
