Byzantines versus Carthaginians

To be precise, Nikephorian versus 2nd Punic War Carthaginians.  Russell took my Carthaginians and came a close second.

Deployment.  I had the advantage, or so I thought.

We advanced, light cavalry going out on the wings.

Turn 2 and it looked good for my light cavalry.

But on Turn 3 the Carthaginians got the initiative 
and there was nothing stopping their infantry 
from walking straight through my centre.

Turn 5 was the climax.
Could their elephants complete the job,
before my cavalry could take out their cavalry (and general)?

Victory.
The Byzantines were one off breaking,
the Carthaginians were one over.
