And so the past was mined for the greatest warriors and generals history had to offer: Napoleon, Alexander, the 47 Ronin, assassins from ancient Persia--all brilliant at either combat or at tactics and strategy.
It was just a game--until mock war turned real on an unimaginable scale, and only those legendary warriors could turn the tide...
