  Mark Pickup Mark Pickup as rome and al Duncan as Carthage. The Romans are pleased that the slave markets have a great crop of new fit slaves after today’s battle.

  Mark Pickup Battle was going in Carthage’s favour when Rome’s Numidian ally started as unreliable hampering their attack. Hannibal’s reliance on 8 untrained elephants proved an error with all eight dying for the loss of one Roman velite.

  Mark Pickup But what swung the battle was Hannibal’s deployment error putting inferior spear in the second tank of superior thereby surrendering their supporting factor.

    Dirk Heinsius Mark What is that sandy base colour that you have for your Romans?

    Mark Pickup Dirk Heinsius I can't recall now it was a commercial product. But they are over a decade old. It may have been one from warlord games. 
    These days I paint over the builders filler and pva mix I use with a resene sandy colour paint and when the paint is wet I sprinkle fine clay dirt from the soil under my balcony. Looks good and my troops ate always fighting on home soil.
