The Great Battles of History (GBoH) series takes a new turn with one of gamedom's favorite situations, Julius Caesar's siege of Alesia in 52 B.C. A new turn, because this famous engagement has little to do with the linear style of warfare that the series highlights. There are no lines of legionaires, no orderly formations, none of what the previous games in the GBoH series have shown. Instead, The Siege of Alesia presents a massive siege assault, with Caesar besieging Vercingetorix's Gauls, and the Gallic relief force attacking Caesar. Featuring assualts on the ramparts of Caesar's fortifications from within and without, Alesia is a tense game between both sides as they try to guess what the other will do, and then try to outlast the ferocity of the attack and defense. It is also nicely balanced between Roman desperation and Gallic steadfastness, or lack thereof. To undertake these difficult tasks, you get ten full legions and almost every Gaul in Gaul.
