I have been trying out my new armies(aren't Elephants a bugger?) and had this very interesting battle/game.Both Roman and Carthaginians are approaching the river Kalistra,hoping to force a crossing-the photo's tell the story.................
Bottom photo shows the terrain,before that the two armies facing each other!
Top photo shows "nearly there!" bottom shows the first clash,both sides suffered casualties from pilum and impetus.
Bloody Elephants!!!!
Top photo shows both first lines retiring(it's good being retired!) to reform behind the second line. Middle photo shows the second lines engaging-a real dice tussle followed... bottom photo shows the Romans breaking the Carthaginian line,so all was lost,and the Romans claimed a well deserved victory.
We will be playing tonight(Sunday 9th)-an English Civil War game-report will follow!
