An historical match up from the Punic Wars. Simon's new Romans take on my seasoned Carthaginians.
Romans won the scouting and all the subsequent initiative rolls.
This was going to prove to be a tough game for my army.
We advance
We get ready to charge
The Gauls fighting for the Romans got a very bloody nose taking on some Libyan javelin-men.
Elsewhere the Carthaginians came off second best, not the best place to be in a two sided fight.
Respective left wings crumble along with part of the centre.
The Carthaginians have their Spanish foot and Numidian light cavalry still fresh
and ready to engage the enemy.
In what was expected to be a victory for the Spanish,
the dice Gods decided otherwise.
This left the Gauls who had turned around ready to take the Roman centre in the rear a bit exposed.
If the Carthaginians can get the initiative they can still win.
But no.
The Carthaginians have consistently thrown low,
passing Cohesion tests with ease, but slowly dying all the same.
The End!
