Tin Soldiers: Alexander the Great is a breath of fresh air that should be enjoyed by all strategy enthusiasts.

Gamespot 8.3/10
That said, this is the rare wargame that is challenging and yet very easy to learn, making it the perfect introduction to PC wargaming, miniatures gaming, and the history of Alexander the Great's astounding campaigns for those interested in any of those three things.
