From the publisher: 'Age of Tyrants' is a game of mass combat using 6mm scale miniatures in the Draconis Alba Galaxy, a futuristic alternative universe that has been in development for over fifteen years. The game is slick, with an intuitive command and control system inspired by combined arms warfare that allows you to pull together different parts of your army to focus on a particular target or objective. Players face each other with one or more company on each side - each company is led by a company commander leading 4 platoons with 4 bases each that also have their own platoon leader. Players alternate using leaders to give commands. Accruing suppression points makes it harder for units to actually follow orders. The army size is bounded by a total points value that players agree on before the game starts.
