I got the scenario as part of my pre-order, but at any rate I think it's worth $4. It's an interesting scenario that you can complete within an hour. If you play as the Slaves, you can decide to conquer Sicily and try to hold out, escape south and hop on boats, or head north and try to escape across the Alps. These three options involve distinct strategies, so it keeps the scenario interesting; the fact that Rome starts weaker than you, and then you have to adapt as they become much stronger, is also fun.
Basically, it's the best scenario if you want to jump in and quickly play a scenario from start to finish. It focuses on a small theatre, the factions begin with very few units, and the goals are pretty clear.
