The Campaign/Battle Card Driven mechanic is a relatively recent development in war games that focuses the players' actions on cards they have in their hand. The very basic idea is that performing a single action uses a single card. Games where cards are used to determine the outcome of battles do not use this mechanic.

A hidden classic, and, in my experience, a hugely underrated game that gains depth with repeated play. The best element of the game is it's balance: however down you may be at the end of a turn, you can start over in the following turn and take the lead. Even with what looks like a weak position at the outset, you can find yourself on top in the end. I definitely recommend this game strongly to fans of the card-driven games, but it does have the drawback of requiring four reasonably evenly matched players to reach it's full enjoyment potential.

Fantastic theme, rich in historical detail. Handles the get the leader syndrome well - if you win a battle, your army takes minimal casualties wheras the losers suffer heavily. You can therefore shatter a coalition against you without succumbing to attrition. This is historically accurate as the majority of casualties were suffered during the rout in this period. It's much more than a 1-dimensional build up the biggest army game though, -you couldn't possibly hold enough territory to win that way- although you might be able to get Alexanders body back to Pella for a legitimacy (political win) - Look it has the silver shields, war elephants, naval battles and 23,000 independant greek colonists fighting their way from Asia...what more do you want?

Second addition rules made good clarifications, additions, and cleaned up a couple of items. Combat system is simple, elegant and effective. Combat does not bog the game down. The game is steeped in theme - the cards add a good deal of flavor. The game plays well and is fun. The components are excellent.
