I may even twist the army of the Young Padawan and see if I can get her to play again... I live in hope :) BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-20889144061886732312019-07-19T17:26:29.566+01:002019-07-19T17:26:29.566+01:00It's always great when battles go like the his...It's always great when battles go like the historic ones.

This means his influence covers a lot of the battlefield (with a small army like this). He was dashing back and forth all game, using his activation re-roll ability nearly every turn. It certainly made a difference, but the Roman deployment was the real deciding factor. Still can't get over how bad it was. Hannibal clearly saw the opportunity and took full advantage while Scipio was blissfully unaware of the danger until it was too late. He was lucky to survive the battle.
