Earth As Their Memorial: The Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC)

The Earth As Their Memorial is a hybrid strategic/operational scale game what covers the 30 year brutal campaign of attrition waged between Sparta, Athens and their respective allies, bringing a violent and destructive end to the golden age of Greece along with Athenian hedgemony in Hellas (Greece).

Players will elect leaders and plan operations during the Assembly Phase, and then randomly pull those operations performing them in the drawn order during a joint Action Phase. Leaders can either retain their commands, be removed, or even be exiled. Different operations include Land Campaign, Naval Campaign, Combined Operations, Mobilization, Fortification and more.

WEIGHT: 5/10

SOLITAIRE: 9/10

Each turn is approximately 1 year and players can either play through the whole war, or the individual phases. The game should also play relatively well solo given the method of activation. No CRT is used, instead a system similar to 1870 is used where SP ratios determine Die Roll Modifiers, and then die results will determine the scope of results between 2 forces. Both players will have to manage the unique challenges of commanding citizen hoplites, slaves and mercenary forces in order to force their opponent into surrender.
