Arrow ROME _ Total War

Ok, this is not WW2, but I am hooked! This is were strategy and tactics meet. The strategy part is where you are a faction within )or outside) Imperial Rome. You have to govern cities and provences, make sure construction, tax and recruitment are all in order. Then you go en conquer "For the Senate and People of Rome". When you meet enemy tribes and have to combat them, the games changes to a tactical game, where you become a general, commanding his legions; Heavy and light infantry, archers, cavalary, mercenaries, etc. Deploy an duse them well in a real time battle!!! This is the same game engine that was used by the BBC program TIME COMMANDERS!!!

Again, I am hooked.
