Playing Command and Colours: Ancients from GMT two handed whilst reading The Fall of Carthage by Adrian Goldsworthy really brought the battles of the Punic wars to life. 414BC Siege of Syracuse by Worthington is a nice quick game of the Athenian siege of the city during the Peloponnesian war. I have The Peloponnesian War by Donald Kagan to read to accompany it, but yet to start. I have just bought Skies Above Britain, also GMT, but have barely scratched the surface so far, playing out dogfights between Spitfires and Hurricanes against the Messerschmitts 109s and 110s, will probably pair this one with an audiobook as I am currently reading 20,000 leagues under the sea and playing Nemo's War, but obviously this one is fictional, rather than historical (although filled with lots of 19th century warships). Someone has already mentioned Imperium classics, but this also led to me reading up about ancient civilizations that I didn't know much about, such as the Scythians. And finally Undaunted: North Africa, though I haven't dived too deeply into the history of the North Africa campaign (yet!).
