ntroduction 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, Macedo
ersian and Seleucid. The section for each army includes counters for use in the game; applicable rule amendments as well as some
nformation about the country at the time (source: Wikipedia)
LEASE NOTE: You must have a copy of Micro Warfare: Micro Ancients to make use of this title.
he Micro Warfare series was originally published by Tabletop Games in the 1970s with this title being published in 1976. Each gam
he series aims to recreate the feel of tabletop wargaming with large numbers of miniatures but using printed counters and terrai
hat games can be played in a small space and are very cost-effective.
n these new editions we have kept the rules and most of the illustrations unchanged but have modernised the layout and cou
esigns to refresh the game. Please look out for more games and expansions from this series being released over the next few month

dian
ing the period 2000500 BCE, many regions of the subcontinent transitioned from the
lcolithic to the Iron Age. The Vedas, the oldest scriptures of Hinduism, were composed
ing this period, and historians have analysed these to posit a Vedic culture in the Punjab
on and the upper Gangetic Plain. Most historians also consider this period to have
ompassed several waves of Indo-Aryan migration into the subcontinent from the north-
st. The caste system, which created a hierarchy of priests, warriors, and free peasants, but
ch excluded indigenous peoples by labelling their occupations impure, arose during this
iod. On the Deccan Plateau, archaeological evidence from this period suggests the
stence of a chiefdom stage of political organisation. In southern India, a progression to
entary life is indicated by the large number of megalithic monuments dating from this
iod, as well as by nearby traces of agriculture, irrigation tanks, and craft traditions.
he late Vedic period, around the 5th century BCE, the small chiefdoms of the Ganges Plain
the north-western regions had consolidated into 16 major oligarchies and monarchies that
re known as the mahajanapadas. The emerging urbanisation and the orthodoxies of this age
o created the religious reform movements of Buddhism and Jainism, both of which became
ependent religions. Buddhism, based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha attracted
owers from all social classes excepting the middle class; chronicling the life of the Buddha
s central to the beginnings of recorded history in India. Jainism came into prominence
und the same time during the life of its exemplar, Mahavira. In an age of increasing urban
alth, both religions held up renunciation as an ideal, and both established long-lasting
nasteries. Politically, by the 3rd century BCE, the kingdom of Magadha had annexed or
uced other states to emerge as the Mauryan Empire. The empire was once thought to have
trolled most of the subcontinent excepting the far south, but its core regions are now
ught to have been separated by large autonomous areas. The Mauryan kings are known as
ch for their empire-building and determined management of public life as for Ashoka's
unciation of militarism and far-flung advocacy of the Buddhist dhamma.
Sangam literature of the Tamil language reveals that, between 200 BCE and 200 CE, the
thern peninsula was being ruled by the Cheras, the Cholas, and the Pandyas, dynasties that
ded extensively with the Roman Empire and with West and South-East Asia. In North India,
duism asserted patriarchal control within the family, leading to increased subordination of
men. By the 4th and 5th centuries, the Gupta Empire had created in the greater Ganges
n a complex system of administration and taxation that became a model for later Indian
gdoms. Under the Guptas, a renewed Hinduism based on devotion rather than the
nagement of ritual began to assert itself. The renewal was reflected in a flowering of
pture and architecture, which found patrons among an urban elite. Classical Sanskrit
literature flowered as well, and Indian science, astronomy, medicine, and mathemati
significant advances.

acedonian
or to the 4th century BC, the kingdom covered a region approximately corresponding to the
stern and Central parts of province of Macedonia in modern Greece. A unified Macedonian
te was eventually established by King Amyntas III (c. 393370 BC), though it still retained
ong contrasts between the cattle-rich coastal plain and the fierce isolated tribal hinterland,
ed to the king by marriage ties. They controlled the passes through which barbarian
asions came from Illyria to the north and northwest. It became increasingly Atticised during
period, though prominent Athenians appear to have regarded the Macedonians as
outh. Before the establishment of the League of Corinth, even though the Macedonians
arently spoke a dialect of the Greek language and claimed proudly that they were Greeks,
y were not considered to share fully the classical Greek culture by many of the inhabitants
he southern city states, because they d id not share the polis based style of government.
er the 4th century Macedon became more politically involved with the south-central city-
tes of Ancient Greece, but it also retained more archaic features like the palace-culture, first
Aegae (modern Vergina) then at Pella, resembling Mycenaean culture more than classic
enic city-states, and other archaic customs, like Philip's multiple wives in addition to his
rote queen Olympias, mother of Alexander.
other archaic remnant was the very persistence of a hereditary monarchy which wielded
midablesometimes absolute power, although this was at times checked by the landed
tocracy, and often disturbed by power struggles within the royal family itself. This
trasted sharply with the Greek cultures further south, where the ubiquitous city-states
stly possessed aristocratic or democratic institutions; the de facto monarchy of tyrants, in
ch heredity was usually more of an ambition rather than the accepted rule; and the limited,
dominantly military and sacerdotal, power of the twin hereditary Spartan kings. The same
ht have held true of feudal institutions like serfdom, which may have persisted in Macedon
l into historical times. Such institutions were abolished by city-states well before
cedon's rise (most notably by the Athenian legislator Solon's famous
achtheia laws).
yntas had three sons; the first two, Alexander II and Perdiccas III reigned only briefly.
diccas III's infant heir was deposed by Amyntas' third son, Philip II of Macedon, who made
self king and ushered in a period of Macedonian dominance in Greece. Under Philip II,
9336 BC), Macedon expanded into the territory of the Paeonians, Thracians, and Illyrians.
ong other conquests, he annexed the regions of Pelagonia and Southern Paeonia.
ip redesigned the army of Macedon adding a number of variations to the traditional
plite force to make it far more effective. He added the hetairoi, a well armoured heavy
alry, and more light infantry, both of which added greater flexibility and responsiveness to
the force. He also lengthened the spear and shrank the shield of the main infantr
increasing its offensive capabilities.
Philip began to rapidly expand the borders of his kingdom. He first campaigned in th
against non-Greek peoples such as the Illyrians, securing his northern border and gaini
prestige as a warrior. He next turned east, to the territory along the northern shor
Aegean. The most important city in this area was Amphipolis, which controlled the w
Thrace and also was near valuable silver mines. This region had been part of the A
Empire, and Athens still considered it as in their sphere. The Athenians attempted to

BCE saw the outbreak of the Third Sacred War that pitted Phocis against Thebes and
Thebes recruited the Macedonians to join them and at the Battle of Crocus Fie
decisively defeated Phocis and its Athenian allies. As a result Macedonia became the
state in the Amphictyonic League and Philip became head of the Pythian Games, firmly
the Macedonian leader at the centre of the Greek poli tical world.
In the continuing conflict with Athens Philip marched east through Thrace in an att

of the major states to oppose the Macedonians. Most importantly Thebes, which
strongest ground force of any of the city states, joined the effort. The allies m

Macedonians the unquestioned masters of Greece.
Philip's son, Alexander the Great (356323 BC), managed briefly to extend Macedonia
not only over the central Greek city-states by becoming Hegemon of the League of(also known as the "Hellenic League"), but also to the Persian empire, including Eg
lands as far east as the fringes of India. Alexander's adoption of the styles of govern
the conquered territories was accompanied by the spread of Greek culture and
through his vast empire. Although the empire fractured into multiple Hellenic regime
after his death, his conquests left a lasting legacy, not least in the new Greek-speaki
founded across Persia's western territories, heralding the Hellenistic period. In the pa
Alexander's empire among the Diadochi, Macedonia fell to the Antipatrid dynasty, w
overthrown by the Antigonid dynasty after only a few years, in 294 BC.

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

eucid Empire
Seleucid Empire (pron.: /slusd/; from Greek: , Selekeia) was a Greek -
cedonian Hellenistic state ruled by the Seleucid dynasty founded by Seleucus I Nicator
owing the carve-up of the empire created by Alexander the Great following his death.
eucus received Babylonia and, from there, expanded his dominions to include much of
xander's near eastern territories. At the height of its power, it included central Anatolia, the
ant, Mesopotamia, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Pamir and present-day Pakistan.
owing his and Lysimachus' victory over Antigonus Monophthalmus at the decisive Battle of
us in 301 BC, Seleucus took control over eastern Anatolia and northern Syria.
he latter area, he founded a new capital at Antioch on the Orontes, a city he named after
father. An alternative capital was established at Seleucia on the Tigris, north of Babylon.
eucus' empire reached its greatest extent following his defeat of his erstwhile ally,
machus, at Corupedion in 281 BC, after which Seleucus expanded his control to encompass
stern Anatolia. He hoped further to take control of Lysimachus' lands in Europe primarily
ace and even Macedonia itself, but was assassinated by Ptolemy Ceraunus on landing in
ope.
son and successor, Antiochus I Soter, was left with an enormous realm consisting of nearly
of the Asian portions of the Empire, but faced with Antigonus II Gonatas in Macedonia and
lemy II Philadelphus in Egypt, he proved unable to pick up where his father had left off in
quering the European portions of Alexander's empire.
iochus I (reigned 281261 BC) and his son and successor Antiochus II Theos (reigned 261
BC) were faced with challenges in the west, including repeated wars with Ptolemy II and a
tic invasion of Asia Minor distracting attention from holding the eastern portions of the
pire together. Towards the end of Antiochus II's reign, various provinces simultaneously
erted their independence, such as Bactria under Diodotus, Parthia under Arsaces, andppadocia under Ariarathes III.
dotus, governor for the Bactrian territory, asserted independence in around 245 BC,
ough the exact date is far from certain, to form the Greco-Bactrian kingdom. This kingdom
s characterized by a rich Hellenistic culture, and was to continue its domination of Bactria
il around 125 BC, when it was overrun by the invasion of northern nomads. One of the
co-Bactrian kings, Demetrius I of Bactria, invaded India around 180 BC to form the Greco-
an kingdom, lasting until around AD 20.
Seleucid satrap of Parthia, named Andragoras, first claimed independence, in a parallel to
secession of his Bactrian neighbour. Soon after however, a Parthian tribal chief called
Arsaces invaded the Parthian territory around 238 BC to form the Arsacid Dynast
starting point of the powerful Parthian Empire.
By the time Antiochus II's son Seleucus II Callinicus came to the throne around 246
Seleucids seemed to be at a low ebb indeed. Seleucus II was soon dramatically defeat
