The Persian Empire Conquers Greece and all its territories

In the New game coming out Rise and Fall:Civilations at war the Persians can send War Elephants to Greece by War ship.
 
Yes and in 'Axis & Allies', Japan can mount an invasion of the USSR, blaze over the steppes and shake hands with Hitler on the Volga. :rolleyes:

In any case, elephants are hideously unreliable in battle- and Greece's hilly landscape would make getting them from point to point a nightmare. There's a reason why the Greeks refined their infantry tactics to the point that they did- Greece isn't really suited for much else.

Too bad Xerxes didn't play that game. ;)

And when playing Germany in Hearts of Iron I took entire world except Latin and South America by end of 1941. Hitler was an amateur. :p

I don't know what difficulty that is on, but by 1939, I have the largest army, airforce, etc. and I can hardly defeat Britain. Perhaps because I need a larger navy......

I think part of the trick is to do crazy a-historical things that take advantage of game mechanics, like invading and annexing the US in 1936 when they just have five divisions...

One of lower difficulty levels. But I started in 1936 and by end of that year counquered Europe minus SU and UK and those worthless Italians who claim to be my allies.
