For the People
Out Of Stock
Description
This is the 4th entry in the We the People system of games, following Hannibal and Successors (but pre-dating Paths of Glory, which is arguably more of a spin-off than a follow-on). The playing area is much larger than say Hannibal, there are lots more forces and generals, and there is a much more complicated political control/strategic will system - as well as quite a few other significant elements. While still clean and streamlined for a complicated wargame, this is nontheless more of a serious hobby game than any of the previous entries in the genre.Note from Mark Herman: The game was reprinted and the latest and final version of the rules has incorporated all of the previous FAQs plus has re-written some of the more troublesome rules sections (rivers). To date, after a grueling three-year on-line tournament, no rules questions of note have been forthcoming. The above write up is mistaken when it states that 'For The People' is based on 'Hannibal v Rome', but was my second game in the 'We The People' genre that I created. The game dropped my battle card system in lieu of a more traditional combat results table to speed play and increase historical accuracy. - BoardGameGeek
