To win, you must create powerful formations along your side of the line of battle that are superior to those of your enemy. Victory goes to the player who wins 5 of the 9 battle flags (an envelopment) or three adjacent flags (a breakthrough). Based on Reiner Knizia's original design published in Germany as Shotten-Totten, Battle Line enhances and expands that game system to give players even more tactical options and gut-wrenching decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow will you muster your battle line? Will you use your elephants to trample a hole in the enemy front, or send Alexander to the front to win a critical flag? Maybe you'll dispatch the Companion cavalry to lead or reinforce a crucial point in the line, or perhaps you\"ll rely on your spies to determine the enemy\"s strengths and weaknesses before committing your best forces. You'll always have plenty of choices. With every card play, you'll determine the strength and direction of your attack while plotting to fend off your enemy's advances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn Battle Line, you and your opponent lead the combined arms of the greatest units of the era. Will you, like Alexander, reign supreme?
