Apocalypse In The East – Muslim Assault On Byzantium

Description

Inside ATO #48 you'll find Apocalypse in the East, by Jason Juneau. From the highlands of Armenia to the shores of Crete, the elite Syrian Muslim army and navy seek to overwhelm the last stronghold of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople. Unfortunately for them, the new emperor, a callous youth named Constans, is equally determined to stop them. Coming to the throne in the wake of murder and revolt, the young sovereign commands only the battered remnants of the Byzantine army, but it is now fighting on its home ground.   Apocalypse in the East - The Muslim Assault on Byzantium (A.D. 646 – 656) features yearly turns, regimental sized units, special rules on the Empress Fausta, and random events including the Monothelete Controversy, earthquakes, nepotism by Caliph Uthmãn, purges in the Byzantine high command and the introduction of Greek Fire. Can you take the helm of the Syrian army and navy and storm the greatest citadel on earth, or will you instead prevent it and maintain Byzantium’s role as Christendom’s eastern march?
