Mark announced before our Victory At Sea game last night that the Ancients campaign was due to start next week.
Based around the Mediterranean, four of us will battle for supremacy (with Mark umpiring). The opening moves will no doubt involve land grabbing and low-level diplomacy - to be followed by high level back-stabbing and nefarious activity.
Key to the campaign will be the objective cards - there will be 12 objectives (such as 'capture 4 islands' or 'eliminate 2 barbarian nations') which will require players to cross or invade other players' territory to achieve their aims. On top of grabbing land off each other, there is also the opportunity to invade while the player has his army tied up invading or fighting someone else.
Its hopefully going to be a bundle of laughs and I'm looking forward to conquering all before me!
