Mediterranean Campaign 220 BC began as a grand strategy game run by email, in two campaigns between 2007 and 2008, with its large battles fought on the tabletop under the Strategikon wargame rules. Each player ruled a state through its administration, its armies and its diplomacy, and every two months of game time brought new orders, a private report on the state and a public newspaper.
