Here are photos of our Command and Colors Ancients Battle of Cannae games at Little Wars last Sunday. In Game One the Carthaginians under Dennis won fairly easily 7-3 victory banners. The Roman right flank was slaughtered by Gallic cavalry who proved to be the heroes for the Carthaginians. Game Two was a cracking game that went right down to the wire. Dennis and Glen did very well indeed with the Romans, at a disadvantage with a four card hand but assisted by two line command cards. In the end the final dice roll decided the game 7-6 but it could have so easily gone the other way. Thanks to Rick, Dennis, Glen and Gary for the fun games.
