Product description Al Nofi's Imperium Romanum - The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire is an update to the classic game of the Roman Empire by Al Nofi. The rules cover the intricacies of the political, economic, and military conflicts of the Roman world from the first century BC to its fall nearly 700 years later. The game includes over 40 scenarios, with six new scenarios and three introductory scenarios. Scenarios range from the Mithridatic wars (88-63 BC) through more than six centuries of greatness and decline to the final burst of glory in the last Romano-Persian War (AD 622-629). Two to six persons may play, depending on the scenario chosen. Scale is 50 miles to the hex and each unit represents Legions and Fleets. Most leader counters are named and represent individual leaders and their staffs. Imperium Romanum includes counter graphics with all units displayed in a neutral color while the players use leader and control markers to show the forces each faction controls. The maps are enlarged and have a directory of all provinces with their cultivated and road status depicted for each scenario. The rules are updated with a new format and include new optional rules designed to give all players more detail in the military, logistical and political actions of the game. New Scenarios: * Pompey versus the Pirates (AD 101-102) * Trajan's Parthian War (AD 115-117) * Heraclius and the last Persian War (AD 622-629) * Introductory solitaire scenario Contents: * Three 22 x 34inch game maps * Four counter sheets * One rules book * One scenario book * One 11 x 17inch Two Sided Combat Charts * One 11 x 17inch Two Sided Mobilization Charts * One 11 x 17inch One Sided Sketch Map * Ten 8.5 x 11inch Power Record Forms * Two six-sided dice

Centuries of History in One Game
I own Imperium Romanim II and purchased this as my copy of the second edition has deteriorating components (played the game since I purchased it in 1991). This update is excellent. The components have nice, upgraded graphics. There are some rules updates. The new rule book is well organized compared to the second edition rule book. This is an excellent purchase for anyone who enjoyed wargames and Roman history.

Large game.
This a game that employs three large maps (Each one 22" x 34") I have limited space for playing games. My kitchen table can only accommodate a two map scenario. I was told by the publisher that there would be several one map scenarios. When I got the game I found that it had 41 scenarios and only one of them employed a single map. There were only two, 2 map scenarios. Not a good game if one has limited space. Sold my copy to a friend who has a large table to play on.
