I am hoping for a Roman win next campaign turn to arrest the momentum gained by Carthaginians.

Good stuff Peter.

What I mean by that is it allowed units to hang on longer frustrating the Roman heavy infantry. As an example, close to game end a unit hung on one extra turn allowing the cavalry to join the engagement to eliminate the attacking Roman unit.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-19560397108597503842021-07-25T07:53:27.323+10:002021-07-25T07:53:27.323+10:00A poor start indeed for the Romans.

I am very happy the way the tabletop and terrain has worked out for the ancients project. The buildings are painted blocks of wood with some textured paint on the roof.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918057670249529750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-47303357553054757062021-07-25T03:32:49.700+10:002021-07-25T03:32:49.700+10:00Gosh, Rome is really up against it now...
