Synopsis

Peloponnesian War is a game of military strategy. The player takes the side of the Athenians, who must beat the Spartan forces. The number of generals and other officers are chosen, the number of warships and the number of ordinary infantry.

Other states may become involved in the war at various times and they would provide extra ships and men. At the beginning of the game none of those states is an ally of either side. The game may develop into a fight to gain the most allies.

The battles may take several years to fight but in the end one decisive battle with Sparta must be fought before 429 BC. If they feel sufficiently confident, the Spartans may enter the final phase after 425 BC but if neither side has committed itself before 404 BC, the final battle phase will be entered automatically.
