This game was to be the first outing for my Pyrrhic Greek army against my veteran Carthaginians. Two of my pals took arms against me for the game.
The Table:
The game was organised to have the two sides trying to control 2 out of 4 marked objectives. My opponents didn't know mine & vice versa:
Deployment followed the Field of Glory rules:
There were 16 units a side.
Both sides had supply camps:
Capturing these added Victory Points.
The Commanders Carthaginian & Greek:
The battle was a dramatic clash between various troop types:
The mighty Greek phalanx was formidable:
A highlight was the battle between skirmish units:
Anti-elephant artillery (was fairly disappointing):
In the end, after 11 game turns, the Carthaginians took their objectives & broke the phalanx:
....next time,,,,,
