Troop deployment and battle followed, although in both the 20 series there was a small skirmish conducted as a separate event to acquaint the players with the game mechanics and their units. The units were indirectly controlled by the lieutenants, who issued commands to programme assistants, who in turn used the game interface to control the units.
The other two players were designated lieutenants in the first series, and captains in the second series and 2016 revival.

In the 2016 revival, two teams of three controlled opposing factions (for example, one team would play as Carthage and the other as Rome).Īfter a brief introduction of the battle, including an overview of military units, terrain and available forces, the players had to develop a strategy and then deploy their forces.
