GAME

Basileus II is the sixth module of the game system "À la Charge !". It uses the special characteristics of Basileus, such as Unseizable, and the particularly formidable units, the Byzantine cataphracts.

With a standard hex & counter "I go - You go" system, players play certain number of turns, in each of which there are movement & combat phases for both players, until the victory conditions are met (usually reaching a morale threshold for eliminated units). The game includes typical wargame concepts like Zone of Control, command, ranged fire or close combat (melee), checking morale and retreating.

There are five proposed battles:

Andrassos 960

Orontes 994

Azaz 1030

Manzikert 1071

Zombos Bridge 1074
