(Note that these items are freely available on the web - I have taken the time to compile them as a free bonus/thank you to the buyer of the game for sale & in no way are they for sale here.)
The Ancient World system moves to the Punic Wars, the greatest event in the ancient world and a true turning point in history. Carthage concentrates on Punic events that take place in Carthage/Africa as well as Sicily, with teh main scenario being the massive First Punic War. Building on the popular mechanics and systems of Rise of the Roman Republic (Vol I), Carthage includes the full, advanced naval system, with galley battles, fleet building expanding ports, and everything featured in the unusual, truly naval war that was the First Punic War. In addition, the detailed political systems for both powers, the soul of the game and a set of mechanics that truly puts the players in the heart of ongoing events, are expanded and clarified. With the addition of rules for the Reduction and Repair of city defenses, militia, and the ability of garrisons to Sally, sieges are now more than just sideshows.
Carthage still uses The Ancient World's unique combat system, with its unusual Unpredictable Results, elephants, cavalry pursuit, and the dangers of fighting too many battles. Carthage's main scenario is, of course, the First Punic War, a twenty year affair that will take some time to play, but keep you entranced for years. The game also includes quick, one evening scenarios, including the playtester two-turn favorite Hiero; Hero or Gyro?, the twisty opening year of the First Punic War. We also have short scenarios for the first invasion of Carthage by Agathocles of Syracuse (311 BC) and the infamous Mercenary War that erupted in Carthage right after the First Punic War (241 BC).
Carthage contains one full-sized map - the slightly redone Italy map (we've expanded rivers to a three-tiered system and corrected some tangential map errata) - plus a half-map for Carthage and Africa. The 100+ full-color counters include every Roman magistrate of the era plus lots of Libyans, Numidians, Egyptians, Iberians, Celts ... if they were there, they're in this game. Also, part of the game package is a expanded group of play-aid charts, prompted by playtester insistence, to help keep track of the many details that campaigning can require.
Carthage is the Punic War's game that ancients and gaming aficionados have been waiting for since the beginning of the wargame hobby. Detailed and demanding, it provides players with a highly playable leel of insight, decision-making, and just pure Fun.

Payment & Shipping
Store Subscriber Postage Discount: If you are a subscriber to our store newsletter you receive a 20% discount on postage on Buy It Now Items.
Shipping: All postage is based on actual Australia Post costs plus $2 for handling & materials for each package sent (see combined postage below). If you require registered post add $3 to the listed rates. Overseas bidders should contact me for rates. If you wish to pick up the goods (from Katoomba, NSW) rather than pay for shipping please let me know via email before paying & it can be arranged, there will be no charge for this so long as I don't have to make any particularly special arrangements - if I do then a $2 handling charge applies. Similarly, I work in Sydney on some week days & the items can be picked up, by prior arrangement either in the CBD or on the train line between Central & Katoomba - there is a $2 handling charge for this. Since postage charges can vary according to location, how good a mood the Post Office Clerk is in when weighing the item etc, if it turns out that cost was significantly lower than I charged I will contact the buyer to inform them that they will have a postage discount on the next item they win from me.
Combined Postage: At the bottom of the item description I list the approximate weight of the item for sale & also the capacity of the envelope/post pack etc on which I've based my postage charges. As noted above I charge a per package handling fee, not per item. If you win multiple items & they will all fit into the listed envelope then that is exactly the amount you will pay for shipping - e.g. if the first item won is listed as 1kg & I am sending it in a 3kg envelope then you know that you can safely bid on another 1.5 kg or so without having to pay the listed postage cost of those items. Of course if I have to get a larger than quoted envelope you will pay the cost of that plus the $2 handling fee. Remember that the weights listed are approximate & that packaging/bubble wrap etc can add considerably to the weight of the package and also that the size of the item might well be more important than its weight as well. Please contact me if you are unsure of any of this.
Items must be paid for and/or email contact made within three days of purchase or the item will be offered to the next highest bidder or relisted. Refunds are generally not given on shrink-wrapped items which have been opened & are otherwise only given in cases where the item description is incorrect - postage costs will not usually be refunded.. However, in all cases where there is a problem, please contact me & we can discuss
