Classical Hack Scenarios Macedonia

Macedonia is the second in the series of Scenarios books published by LMW Works. All of the Scenarios titles provide historical gamers with a platform to put on historical battles in miniature.

Each scenario gives a brief account of a specific battle, including opposing orders of battle, special tactics of both armies and victory conditions. The scenarios have been designed by Philip J. Viverito and Allan D. Fleming noted game masters at Cold Wars Historicon and Fall In!. Both have years of gaming experience and their ideas and ideals are a worthwhile contribution to gaming and historical writing.
