After playing a lot of Basic Impetus, Dave and I decided to go back or forward to Impetus Second Edition. We thought starting off with just 300 points would be a good way to ease ourselves back into this more advanced rule set.
You don't get a lot for 300 points,
close to the same size army as you get with Basic.
First turn and the Indian longbow start to score hits
and the Carthaginians start to fail Cohesion Tests.
My C-in-C is downgraded.
Later he threw a double six, but that was just the dice Gods being cruel.
By the end of Turn 2 the Carthaginians had been able to launch full on cavalry attacks,
on both wings of the Indian army.
Unfortunately they were not very successful.
Turn three and the Carthaginian Second Command breaks.
Their First Command is locked in combat.
Turn four and it is all over.
The Carthaginian cavalry did get round the Indian's right flank,
but just couldn't score a hit on the elephants.
If they had it would have been a different story, maybe.
