C&C Ancient War is the continued development of Avalon Hill's old game, Battle Cry, by Richard Borg (NOT Berg) for Ancients.<br>
<br>
Battle Cry was a simple, but fast and furious card-driven game system, though at times a little too dictated by the luck of the dice (I shall never forget Pickett's charge as the Union player, where the Graycoats drove all before them). The original BC sold extremely well for a "wargame"; though apparently not enough for Hasbro to keep it. As I recall, Borg has been promoting (and trying to get published) various developments on the systems for years, and has apparently now at last succeeded. Well worth a look.<br>
