Introduction to the Hurlbat Publishing Edition Welcome to the Hurlbat Publishing edition of ‘Micro Warfare Series: Micro Ancient Expansion II – Classical Era’ An expansion to the popular Micro Ancient game, this title introduces four additional belligerents to enhance play: Indian, Macedonian, Persian and Seleucid. The section for each army includes counters for use in the game; applicable rule amendments as well as some brief information about the country at the time (source: Wikipedia) PLEASE NOTE: You must have a copy of Micro Warfare: Micro Ancients to make use of this title. The Micro Warfare series was originally published by Tabletop Games in the 1970s with this title being published in 1976. Each game in the series aims to recreate the feel of tabletop wargaming with large numbers of miniatures but using printed counters and terrain so that games can be played in a small space and are very cost-effective. In these new editions we have kept the rules and most of the illustrations unchanged but have modernised the layout and counter designs to refresh the game.

Amendments to basic rules Chariots Bow armed chariot units may only engage targets at short range, i.e. 75mm or less. Chariots are classed as an Open Order target for missiles.
40mm
Infantry
Infantry 80mm
Chariot units may charge across the front of enemy units engaging them with missile fire. This is achieved by the unit charging towards the enemy then turning 90°, which costs 20mm of movement, just before contact is made, and continuing the charge along the enemy’s front. Chariots moving this way may not be engaged in melee by infantry units.
Example of a passing melee:
Chariot Melees Add the following factors to the melee table on the combat charts: Present fighting Cavalry factor 301+ 66 151 – 300 46 Less than 151 18 *Normal melee / passing melee
Infantry
Elephant
Chariots
78 / 32* 58 / 25* 32 / 15*
30 20 12
78 58 32
After the first round of normal melee, chariots will unform the unit they are attacking. This does not apply if the melee is a passing melee, where the defending infantry unit uses the following Anti-Chariot tactic. Anti-Chariot tactics M1 and M2 class units may open ranks to allow the attacking chariot unit to pass through, only if the chariot unit mas moved at least 25mm into contact. This tactic must be declared immediately the chariot charge is stated. If the infantry unit opens its ranks, the chariots must attempt to make a full charge move, a passing melee is fought as the chariots pass through the infantry unit. The infantry unit will count only half its present fighting factor in a passing melee calculation, and will be considered as being unformed during that move, but not in the following move. M3 units must, and M1 / M2 units may choose to meet chariots as in a normal melee.

Chariot unit declares charge. Infantry unit declares anti-chariot tactic.
Position of chariot unit at the end of the move after fighting a passing melee with infantry.
Bow armed cavalry These bow armed cavalry units may always choose to evade an attacker. If they do become involved in a melee they will count as sword armed only unless equipped with another weapon. They may only engage an enemy unit at short range, i.e. 75mm or less. Two handed cutting weapons (2HCW) Add the following factors to the two handed cutting weapon section on the melee table on the combat charts: Present fighting Cavalry Infantry Elephant Chariots factor 801+ 65 90 60 65 601 – 800 60 80 50 55 401 – 600 50 60 30 35 201 – 400 30 55 20 25 Less than 201 20 40 15 20 Note: Certain units such as the Viking Berserks have been classed as armed with 2HCW for factor purposes and is not necessarily historically accurate.
Kontos armed cavalry These will lose their kontos weapon after the contact round. Once the kontos has been lost the cavalry will count as being sword armed only. Pike armed infantry Add the factors below to the melee table on the combat charts: Present fighting Cavalry Infantry Elephant Chariots factor 1001+ 120 125 115 125 801 – 1000 100 105 95 105 601 – 800 80 85 75 85 401 – 600 60 65 55 65 201 – 400 40 45 35 45 Less than 201 20 25 18 25 Pikes hit in the flank are not only unformed, but only half their present fighting factor may fight to the front instead of the usual full factor. The usual quarter of the present fighting factor may still fight to the engaged flank. Crossbows For purposes of the missile table class crossbows as ‘Bow fire at under 75mm range’ but at all ranges. Crossbow armed units may only fire at the end of the ‘fire move’ due to the lengthy loading time. Maximum range will be 200mm. Add 10 factors when crossbows are engaging armoured cavalry targets. Halberds Class these weapons as ‘Pikes’ but deduct 20 factors when engaged by military units. Rockets Class as artillery (War engines) with a maximum range of 500mm. A unit taking casualties from rocket fire will immediately take a morale test as will all mounted units along the line of flight of the rockets. Units taking casualties will be classed as under missile fire and unformed during that move. Units along the line of flight will be classed as unformed for that move. Poleaxe and mace armed units Class these weapons as 2HCWs.

Multi-weaponed units Units armed with more than one stated weapon may choose which weapon they will use prior to engaging in melee. If the unit changes weapons during that melee then it will have a -10 factor in that melee round. Seleucid elephant units These counters represent the basic elephant unit and also it’s escorting light infantry. The combined units are armed with javelin and slings, and when using missile fire halve the unit’s present fighting factor for each type of weapon. When engaged in a melee use the unit’s full present fighting factor.
Indian During the period 2000–500 BCE, many regions of the subcontinent transitioned from the Chalcolithic to the Iron Age. The Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, were composed during this period, and historians have analysed these to posit a Vedic culture in the Punjab region and the upper Gangetic Plain. Most historians also consider this period to have encompassed several waves of Indo-Aryan migration into the subcontinent from the northwest. The caste system, which created a hierarchy of priests, warriors, and free peasants, but which excluded indigenous peoples by labelling their occupations impure, arose during this period. On the Deccan Plateau, archaeological evidence from this period suggests the existence of a chiefdom stage of political organisation. In southern India, a progression to sedentary life is indicated by the large number of megalithic monuments dating from this period, as well as by nearby traces of agriculture, irrigation tanks, and craft traditions.
literature flowered as well, and Indian science, astronomy, medicine, and mathematics made significant advances.

In the late Vedic period, around the 5th century BCE, the small chiefdoms of the Ganges Plain and the north-western regions had consolidated into 16 major oligarchies and monarchies that were known as the mahajanapadas. The emerging urbanisation and the orthodoxies of this age also created the religious reform movements of Buddhism and Jainism, both of which became independent religions. Buddhism, based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha attracted followers from all social classes excepting the middle class; chronicling the life of the Buddha was central to the beginnings of recorded history in India. Jainism came into prominence around the same time during the life of its exemplar, Mahavira. In an age of increasing urban wealth, both religions held up renunciation as an ideal, and both established long-lasting monasteries. Politically, by the 3rd century BCE, the kingdom of Magadha had annexed or reduced other states to emerge as the Mauryan Empire. The empire was once thought to have controlled most of the subcontinent excepting the far south, but its core regions are now thought to have been separated by large autonomous areas. The Mauryan kings are known as much for their empire-building and determined management of public life as for Ashoka's renunciation of militarism and far-flung advocacy of the Buddhist dhamma. The Sangam literature of the Tamil language reveals that, between 200 BCE and 200 CE, the southern peninsula was being ruled by the Cheras, the Cholas, and the Pandyas, dynasties that traded extensively with the Roman Empire and with West and South-East Asia. In North India, Hinduism asserted patriarchal control within the family, leading to increased subordination of women. By the 4th and 5th centuries, the Gupta Empire had created in the greater Ganges Plain a complex system of administration and taxation that became a model for later Indian kingdoms. Under the Guptas, a renewed Hinduism based on devotion rather than the management of ritual began to assert itself. The renewal was reflected in a flowering of sculpture and architecture, which found patrons among an urban elite. Classical Sanskrit

Macedonian Prior to the 4th century BC, the kingdom covered a region approximately corresponding to the Western and Central parts of province of Macedonia in modern Greece. A unified Macedonian state was eventually established by King Amyntas III (c. 393–370 BC), though it still retained strong contrasts between the cattle-rich coastal plain and the fierce isolated tribal hinterland, allied to the king by marriage ties. They controlled the passes through which barbarian invasions came from Illyria to the north and northwest. It became increasingly Atticised during this period, though prominent Athenians appear to have regarded the Macedonians as uncouth. Before the establishment of the League of Corinth, even though the Macedonians apparently spoke a dialect of the Greek language and claimed proudly that they were Greeks, they were not considered to share fully the classical Greek culture by many of the inhabitants of the southern city states, because they did not share the polis based style of government. Over the 4th century Macedon became more politically involved with the south-central citystates of Ancient Greece, but it also retained more archaic features like the palace-culture, first at Aegae (modern Vergina) then at Pella, resembling Mycenaean culture more than classic Hellenic city-states, and other archaic customs, like Philip's multiple wives in addition to his Epirote queen Olympias, mother of Alexander. Another archaic remnant was the very persistence of a hereditary monarchy which wielded formidable – sometimes absolute – power, although this was at times checked by the landed aristocracy, and often disturbed by power struggles within the royal family itself. This contrasted sharply with the Greek cultures further south, where the ubiquitous city-states mostly possessed aristocratic or democratic institutions; the de facto monarchy of tyrants, in which heredity was usually more of an ambition rather than the accepted rule; and the limited, predominantly military and sacerdotal, power of the twin hereditary Spartan kings. The same might have held true of feudal institutions like serfdom, which may have persisted in Macedon well into historical times. Such institutions were abolished by city-states well before Macedon's rise (most notably by the Athenian legislator Solon's famous σεισάχθεια seisachtheia laws). Amyntas had three sons; the first two, Alexander II and Perdiccas III reigned only briefly. Perdiccas III's infant heir was deposed by Amyntas' third son, Philip II of Macedon, who made himself king and ushered in a period of Macedonian dominance in Greece. Under Philip II, (359–336 BC), Macedon expanded into the territory of the Paeonians, Thracians, and Illyrians. Among other conquests, he annexed the regions of Pelagonia and Southern Paeonia. Philip redesigned the army of Macedon adding a number of variations to the traditional hoplite force to make it far more effective. He added the hetairoi, a well armoured heavy cavalry, and more light infantry, both of which added greater flexibility and responsiveness to johnny okane (order #7172889)
the force. He also lengthened the spear and shrank the shield of the main infantry force, increasing its offensive capabilities. Philip began to rapidly expand the borders of his kingdom. He first campaigned in the north against non-Greek peoples such as the Illyrians, securing his northern border and gaining much prestige as a warrior. He next turned east, to the territory along the northern shore of the Aegean. The most important city in this area was Amphipolis, which controlled the way into Thrace and also was near valuable silver mines. This region had been part of the Athenian Empire, and Athens still considered it as in their sphere. The Athenians attempted to curb the growing power of Macedonia, but were limited by the outbreak of the Social War. They could also do little to halt Philip when he turned his armies south and took over most of Thessaly. Control of Thessaly meant Philip was now closely involved in the politics of central Greece. 356 BCE saw the outbreak of the Third Sacred War that pitted Phocis against Thebes and its allies. Thebes recruited the Macedonians to join them and at the Battle of Crocus Field Philip decisively defeated Phocis and its Athenian allies. As a result Macedonia became the leading state in the Amphictyonic League and Philip became head of the Pythian Games, firmly putting the Macedonian leader at the centre of the Greek political world. In the continuing conflict with Athens Philip marched east through Thrace in an attempt to capture Byzantium and the Bosphorus, thus cutting off the Black Sea grain supply that provided Athens with much of its food. The siege of Byzantium failed, but Athens realized the grave danger the rise of Macedon presented and under Demosthenes built a coalition of many of the major states to oppose the Macedonians. Most importantly Thebes, which had the strongest ground force of any of the city states, joined the effort. The allies met the Macedonians at the Battle of Chaeronea and were decisively defeated, leaving Philip and the Macedonians the unquestioned masters of Greece. Philip's son, Alexander the Great (356–323 BC), managed briefly to extend Macedonian power not only over the central Greek city-states by becoming Hegemon of the League of Corinth (also known as the "Hellenic League"), but also to the Persian empire, including Egypt and lands as far east as the fringes of India. Alexander's adoption of the styles of government of the conquered territories was accompanied by the spread of Greek culture and learning through his vast empire. Although the empire fractured into multiple Hellenic regimes shortly after his death, his conquests left a lasting legacy, not least in the new Greek-speaking cities founded across Persia's western territories, heralding the Hellenistic period. In the partition of Alexander's empire among the Diadochi, Macedonia fell to the Antipatrid dynasty, which was overthrown by the Antigonid dynasty after only a few years, in 294 BC.

Persian During the second millennium BC, Proto-Iranian tribes arrived in Iran from the Eurasian steppes, rivalling the native settlers of the country. As these tribes dispersed into the wider area of Greater Iran and beyond, the boundaries of modern Iran were dominated by the Persian, Parthian and Median tribes, soon after Zoroastrianism emerged as the main religion of the Iranian tribes. The unification of the Median tribes under a single ruler in 728 BC led to the creation of a Median empire, which by 612 BC controlled the whole of Iran as well as eastern Anatolia. In 550 BC, Cyrus the Great from the state of Anshan took over the Median Empire, and founded the Achaemenid Empire by unifying other city states. The conquest of Media happened as a result of what is called the Persian revolt, which was initially triggered by the actions of the Median ruler Astyages, and quickly spread to other provinces, as they allied with the Persians. Later conquests under Cyrus and his successors expanded the empire to include Lydia, Babylon, Egypt and the lands to the west of the Indus and Oxus Rivers. Conflict on the western borders began with the famous Greco-Persian Wars which continued through the first half of the 5th century BC and ended with the Persian withdrawal from all of their European territories. The empire had a centralised, bureaucratic administration under the Emperor and a large professional army and civil services, inspiring similar developments in later empires. In 334 BC, Alexander the Great invaded the Achaemenid Empire, defeating the last Achaemenid Emperor Darius III at the Battle of Issus in 333 BC. Following the premature death of Alexander, Iran came under the control of the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire. In the middle of the 2nd century BC, Parthia rose to become the main power in Iran and continued as a feudal monarchy for nearly five centuries until 224 AD, when it was succeeded by the Sassanid Empire. The Sassanids established an empire roughly within the frontiers achieved by the Achaemenids, with the capital at Ctesiphon. Most of the period of the Parthian and Sassanid Empires were overshadowed by the Roman-Persian Wars, which raged on their western borders for over 700 years. These wars exhausted both Romans and Sassanids, which arguably led to the defeat of both at the hands of the invading Muslim Arabs.

Seleucid Empire The Seleucid Empire (pron.: /sɨˈluːsɪd/; from Greek: Σελεύκεια, Seleύkeia) was a GreekMacedonian Hellenistic state ruled by the Seleucid dynasty founded by Seleucus I Nicator following the carve-up of the empire created by Alexander the Great following his death. Seleucus received Babylonia and, from there, expanded his dominions to include much of Alexander's near eastern territories. At the height of its power, it included central Anatolia, the Levant, Mesopotamia, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Pamir and present-day Pakistan. Following his and Lysimachus' victory over Antigonus Monophthalmus at the decisive Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC, Seleucus took control over eastern Anatolia and northern Syria. In the latter area, he founded a new capital at Antioch on the Orontes, a city he named after his father. An alternative capital was established at Seleucia on the Tigris, north of Babylon. Seleucus' empire reached its greatest extent following his defeat of his erstwhile ally, Lysimachus, at Corupedion in 281 BC, after which Seleucus expanded his control to encompass western Anatolia. He hoped further to take control of Lysimachus' lands in Europe – primarily Thrace and even Macedonia itself, but was assassinated by Ptolemy Ceraunus on landing in Europe. His son and successor, Antiochus I Soter, was left with an enormous realm consisting of nearly all of the Asian portions of the Empire, but faced with Antigonus II Gonatas in Macedonia and Ptolemy II Philadelphus in Egypt, he proved unable to pick up where his father had left off in conquering the European portions of Alexander's empire. Antiochus I (reigned 281–261 BC) and his son and successor Antiochus II Theos (reigned 261– 246 BC) were faced with challenges in the west, including repeated wars with Ptolemy II and a Celtic invasion of Asia Minor — distracting attention from holding the eastern portions of the Empire together. Towards the end of Antiochus II's reign, various provinces simultaneously asserted their independence, such as Bactria under Diodotus, Parthia under Arsaces, and Cappadocia under Ariarathes III. Diodotus, governor for the Bactrian territory, asserted independence in around 245 BC, although the exact date is far from certain, to form the Greco-Bactrian kingdom. This kingdom was characterized by a rich Hellenistic culture, and was to continue its domination of Bactria until around 125 BC, when it was overrun by the invasion of northern nomads. One of the Greco-Bactrian kings, Demetrius I of Bactria, invaded India around 180 BC to form the GrecoIndian kingdom, lasting until around AD 20. The Seleucid satrap of Parthia, named Andragoras, first claimed independence, in a parallel to the secession of his Bactrian neighbour. Soon after however, a Parthian tribal chief called johnny okane (order #7172889)
Arsaces invaded the Parthian territory around 238 BC to form the Arsacid Dynasty — the starting point of the powerful Parthian Empire. By the time Antiochus II's son Seleucus II Callinicus came to the throne around 246 BC, the Seleucids seemed to be at a low ebb indeed. Seleucus II was soon dramatically defeated in the Third Syrian War against Ptolemy III of Egypt and then had to fight a civil war against his own brother Antiochus Hierax. Taking advantage of this distraction, Bactria and Parthia seceded from the empire. In Asia Minor too, the Seleucid dynasty seemed to be losing control — Gauls had fully established themselves in Galatia, semi-independent semi-Hellenized kingdoms had sprung up in Bithynia, Pontus, and Cappadocia, and the city of Pergamum in the west was asserting its independence under the Attalid Dynasty The Seleucid Empire was a major center of Hellenistic culture that maintained the preeminence of Greek customs and where a Greek-Macedonian political elite dominated, mostly in the urban areas. The Greek population of the cities who formed the dominant elite were reinforced by emigration from Greece. Seleucid expansion into Anatolia and Greece was abruptly halted after decisive defeats at the hands of the Roman army. Their attempts to defeat their old enemy Ptolemaic Egypt were frustrated by Roman demands. Much of the eastern part of the empire was conquered by the Parthians under Mithridates I of Parthia in the mid-2nd century BC, yet the Seleucid kings continued to rule a rump state from Syria until the invasion by Armenian king Tigranes the Great and their ultimate overthrow by the Roman general Pompey.
