A great scenario for Total War Rome 2, played on a new Gaul based map, with some limited neighbouring areas, such as southern Britain. You can of course play as the Romans, or as a number of the Gallic factions of the time.
The game is shorter than the standard game, and seasonal weather conditions help give the game an authentic feel.
My one gripe is that despite the campaign supposedly ending in 51BC, if you don't in fact win by that time (by achieving your factions set goals), the game just rolls on into 50BC without any kind of notification that you failed the scenario. I played a full 186 turns and then stopped once 50BC arrived. The option to play on is definitely welcome, but there should be some kind of splash screen. I would rather come back and try again within the timeframe, than spend the rest of my life trying to complete one scenario.
However, this aside, this has definitely been the best Total War experience I've had to date. Definitely recommended.
