[ WP ] Julius Caesar , Genghis Khan , Alexander the Great , and Sun Tzu play a strategy game

Vast swathes of Asia and Europe had already fallen to the might of Genghis Khan's seemingly invincible Golden Horde. Alexander held Africa and was struggling to hold on to his dominions in the East. Sun Tzu's grasp on Australasia and Southern Asia was firm, but the Middle East was a hotly contested battleground between himself and the forces of the Golden Horde and Alexander, all vying for domination over the greatest of continents and the chance of ultimate victory, with its seven soldier reinforcement boost. 
 
 But all of them were deceived, for a fourth player was in the game. Forgotten and cast out from his homeland, Julius Caesar, master of Rome, had found himself on the shores of a new world, one that he had quickly conquered, gaining the plus two soldiers every turn. South America, the foreign land, had fallen easily. With little contest, he ravaged the continent and clambered his way North, into the frozen wastelands of Alaska, the Northwest Territory and Greenland. 
 
 Dozens of soldiers, horses and cannons lay scattered across the table top. It was a war unlike any other with Sun Tzu constantly muttering under his breath some sort of quasi-inspirational quote that had no real relevance in a game of RISK, and Alexander eyeing up his opponents and winking whenever any of them looked at him. 
 
 After hours, nay days, of needless back and forth between the nations, Caeser struck hard and fast against Kamskth- Kamchtika- Kamcha... Asia's East coast. The Golden Horde was unravelled. Stretched thin over his empire, the Great Khan realised too late that his armies were no match for the power of Rome, or rather Roman dominated America, or `` Romanica'' as Caesar had started calling it. With his glorious army, Caesar swept across Asia like a rising tide and marched his armies deep into Europe and Africa, crushing Alexanders pitiful empire. Only one now remained. 
 
 Caesar, weakened by hours of warfare, marched what remained of his army to the gates of Australasia and prepared for his final assualt upon Sun Tzu's fortress of solitude. 
 
 Caesar put down the dice. He looked into his enemies eye's and smiled, raising a golden chalace to the fallen, the emperor looked over to Sun Tzu. Nothing. No fear, no loathing, nothing that gave way in the man's eyes. Somethings wrong, Julius thought to himself. 
 
 Sun Tzu picked up the dice and placed them in front of his little plastic men. He then picked up the cards in-front of him and placed them down, face up. He smiled. Reinforcements had arrived. 
 
 Caesar barely held back tears as Sun Tzu's newly invigorated army ripped through his own depleted forces. Sun Tzu smiled at his opponentant as he taught him the true art of war.
