Naval battles in the ancient world were nasty, in-your-face affairs, where the object was to literally ram your vessel into the enemy&#146;s.

Couple this with the ruthless machinations of Alexander the Great&#146;s Successors, Antigonus and Polyperchon. This scenario takes a look at ancient naval warfare on the fleet level. Pilot a squadron of ships on to victory!
