Homeric Hack (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

The time of the Trojan War and the Homeric tales built round this war are but elusive shadows to modern man. The time of the Trojan War borders on prehistory in regard to written literature. Homer preserved this War of Heroes and their time (circa 1184 B.C.) with something of a backward glance, surely blending his own current history (circa 800 B.C.) with that of the heroes. Regardless of how Homer created the West's first great epic poem, create it he did with all of its bigger than life people and shrouded historical fact. A tapestry of words greater than that of Bayeux. Homeric Hack is designed to recreate in miniature individual duels, the epic battles of the Trojan War, from the battle of Thicket Ridge to the sack of the city itself and even the battles Aeneas fought in Italy. Only your imagination sets the parameters of the great engagements you can recreate. The system allows for heroic duels, large army engagements, naval engagements and sieges with the silver lining being a simple Divine Intervention system.
