Dominion of the Spear is a very simple set of wargames rules allowing one to fight two armies (pre gunpowder) against each other in just a few minutes.
Although figures can be used, battles can easily be fought on paper (no measuring) using pen or pencil and two different coloured six sided dice.
196 army lists are included divided into the periods: the Ancient Near East Age, Age of the Greek and Persian Wars, Age of the Romans, the Dark Ages, Age of the Crusaders, Age of Mongol Invasions and the Late Middle Ages.
Armies consist of 3-6 units or commands and the points system is included.
There is a complete play through of the Battle of Hydaspes 326 BC between Alexander the Great and King Porus of India.
Designer Notes are included along with a quick reference sheet on the back cover.
