	Description Edit \| History

Variant to Command #15 (I Am Spartacus!) found in Command magazine #19. Ownership of Command #15 is required.

The game covers the invasions of Southern Italy and Sicily by Pyrrhus, and his campaigns against Rome and Carthage. One player takes the role of Pyrrhus and his Greek, Siracusan, and Tarentine forces, while the other controls Rome and her allies. Carthage is a neutral power that can ally with either side.
