The cover (near new condition with only hard to see minor flaws), magazine with attached rules (new condition with glossy white pages and no marks or writing), color 22"x34" map (near new condition with clean bright colors and only minor flaws), and 140 counters (all 120 counters for Marathon/Granicus are unpunched, nicely centered front & back, and in new condition, though of the 20 errata counters for Operation Elope, some have come loose and the rest are high quality replacements) are in near new to new condition. This issue includes the 6 page section for Boer War (S&T #205) with variants, scenarios, errata, and design notes. An extremely hard to find issue of S&T due to the popularity of the game mechanics!

The six page bonus consists of collected errata, clarifications, and optional rules for all of the 17 games that make up the Battles of the Ancient War Series (which S&T #214 is a part of). Some to all of the bonus will be sent by email upon shipping your purchase. All bonus and extras material are available for sale separately if requested.
An all Persian battle issue as the ancient civilization squares up against the Greeks and Alexander the Great in this issue. Marathon and Granicus uses the popular Battles of the Ancient World system (which has been applied to 17 different battle scenarios and appeared in 2 boxed sets).
"Standard rules are used with specific scenario rules being the Greek charge in turn one which triples their movement thus all hoplite units are able to crash into the Persian ranks on turn one if the Greek player feels the urge - and it is advisable as another rule states the disorganised Persian cavalry cannot move and defend at half strength up until turn 4. Thus the Greek is encouraged to batter through some of the Persian foot and close with the cav before turn 4 if possible. All in all a fine simulation given the scope of the system rules.
The Persians' only good chance is to resist the Greek hoplites with foot until turn 4 and then try and turn any Greek flank possible by moving his cavalry away and around the Greeks and charging them in clear terrain - if the Greeks allow themselves to be explioted this way of course. So far its 2-1 to the Greeks so its not a totally lost cause for the Persians." - BoardGameGeeks
