2nd Punic War Carthaginians versus Lancastrians

This game pitched the perfectly depicted against the wonderfully depicted.  It was a bloody game.

My Carthaginians out scouted Simon's, eh, Lancastrians 

and this gave me an advantage in placing my troops

Turn 1 and the Carthaginians stayed put.

They might have been in shock.

But come turn 2 we are on the move.

However turn 3 shows there is still some hesitation.

The jmpetuous Gauls charge on Turn 4,

while they bounce, it proves to have been a good spoiling tactic.

Turn 5 and the action starts.

The Lancastrian yetis mangle the Carthaginian elephants.

The Spaniards had messed up and been messed up by the other, um, Lancastrian knights.

Then it was the turn of the Veteran Libyan spearmen to have a go at the yetis.

No luck.

But finally the Libyans managed to stop the Lancastrian yetis 

At the end of Turn 5 things are looking rather favourable.

If I was of an orange complexion I would have declared total victory.

Turn 6 and the yetis ate the elephants :-(

But with the exception of the right flank, 

things still look good.

Definite win to me.

Unless those dastardly Lancastrians steal my victory!

Turn 7.

The game is going on too long.

There are too many moves.

Game should have stopped after I'd effectively won on Turn 5.

Not fair!

Turn 8

Victory is assured.

The enemy general is down to only one strength point.

Sadly the Carthaginian general is too.

Turn 9 saw the Lancastrians move first.  Their unit that was being pursued by the Gauls escaped.  The unit that was about to be taken in the rear by the Numidians charged the Carthaginian cavalry (which held).  The yetis growled and howled at the Libyans but to no effect.  Surprisingly the Spanish succumbed to the weight of foes (or rather a very lucky set of dice).  That loss tipped me over breaking point without the real possibility of routing enough number of the enemy to break them as well.  

We was robbed!!!
