This is an expansion for the Dominion of the Spear solo wargames rules and contains 36 ancient and medieval historical battles with each having a very brief background, army lists, suggested historical deployment, and very brief description of what happened in the actual battle and the consequences.
Includes a discussion on terrain and optional rules on activation and reserves that allow more player input, changing the feeling from watching a battle to being the generals directing the troops.
