Command & Colors: Medieval
In this core game, the focus is on early medieval battles between the Byzantine Empire and the Sassanid Persians (528-586). In addition, some key battles between the Huns and Romans are included, which act nicely as a bridge between Command & Colors: Ancients and the early medieval period, as well as a gateway into the rest of the medieval core game scenarios. The Byzantine army during this period of medieval history tended to mirror its eastern adversaries by deploying an increasing number of super heavy cataphracted armored cavalry formations and more missile troops. Yet, it was how the Byzantines adapted their battlefield tactics in relation to the enemy they faced that is perhaps the chief reason for the longevity of the Empire.
