VaeVictis #167: Nabis, le dernier Spartiate 195 av. I.-C.
Nabis, le dernier Spartiate is the second wargame of the "Au Fil de l'Épée" Antiquity series, after "Alexandre contre la Perse".
In 195 BC, the king of Sparta Nabis sees his diplomatic maneuvers collapse. The powerful Roman legions of the proconsul Titus Quinctius Flamininus invade Laconia, accompanied by troops of the Achaean League. Refugee in Sparta with his motley army, Nabis fights a last combat to try to save his city. The game proposes to replay this battle which begins with a confrontation on the open ground and extends into street fighting, where all tactical stratagems, including the arson of the city, are good for repelling the Romans.
Can you save Sparta's independence or will you plant the Eagle of Rome in the heart of the city of Lycurgus?
