The Game |
|
|
OPPIDUM is a skirmish game that takes place during the
50s BC, when Julius Caesar successively attacked the various
Celtic and Germanic peoples in Western Europe and (future
Great) Britain. The game uses the concepts and scale of the
Cry Havoc series. The different scenarios allow you to
simulate ambushes, attempts by the defenders of Alesia to
break the siege or the landing of Roman legionnaires on a
beach of Britannia defended by warriors on chariots.
