About Ramses II
Ramses II is a variant based on Avalon Hill's tactical battle game Alexander the Great. The mapboard, with a few modifications, and the game system are used in the variant. The vast majority of the rules for Alexander the Great are employed; those modified or not utilized are noted below. New game counters, which represent the Hittite and Egyptian forces, are provided on the insert of this issue. With these-mapboard, rules, counters-at hand, one can recreate the bloody Battle of Kadesh, fought over 3200 years ago. —description from the publisher
