Features
o A comprehensive army builder which allows you to design armies to a specific number of points and then take these armies in to single player against the AI or online in multiplayer. This adds almost infinite replayability.
o New random battle generator using armies created in the army builder for single and multiplayer.
o A new Line of Sight option. Games can be played with or without LOS. Hide battlegroups in terrain, behind hills or other troops. Beware of ambushes!
o Baggage camps which appear in battle and can be looted for bonus points. Some armies are allowed to fortify their baggage.
o Temporary fortifications such as palisades which can be defended.
o Over 100 new unit types including camelry, scythed chariots and artillery!
o 5 New terrain types - broken ground, impassable terrain, open fields, vineyards & steep hills.
o 6 new battles from the Greek & Persian wars, Macedonian & Punic War's and from Rome’s expansion.

Armies Included
o Mid-Republican Roman
o Late Republican Roman
o Gallic
o Pyrrhic
o Later Carthaginian
o Ancient Spanish

o Attalid Pergamene
o Numidian or Early Moorish
o Later Seleucid

+1 Even though I haven't had time to play FoG properly yet. A great game though and this expansion looks like it will be a must buy.

I have never played the table top version but it reminds me of all those things that I used to look for years ago when playing wargame research rules but never really got to do because of the hassle (time, painting up figures, preparation, finding opponents etc) involved. I signed up for the expansion pack too; just hope it works with my matrix original - the patches have so fingers crossed.
