This campaign is based on Philip V aggression towards Greece and Rome during the closing years of the 2nd Punic War and beyond. The focus is on the Macedon and its bid to control all greece in anticipation of a conflict with Rome. (Note that Philip V was an ally of Carthage at this time.) Philip V was defeated by the Romans and their allies in 208 BC at the battle of Elis and was forced to withdraw back to Macedonian to lick his wounds. Hostilities with Rome would begin once again in 200 BC with the start 2nd Macedonian War.

This is really an alternate campaign from the one provided in the DBA rules. Its focus is on the eastern med. at the time of the 2nd punic war, so includes some eastern nations replacing western ones. In addition, other conflicts outside the Punic War are included (such as the fighting between the Selucids and the Ptolemiacs).
