Rome delenda est! From Alastair Duncan, 23 March 2026

Roving Reporter, Alastair Duncan, was at the Wellington Warlords taking part in Paul Graham’s Rome vs Carthage big bash. Alastair says:

Rome collapsed but not before Hannibal died as a DBMM 720 points multi player dominated the Warlords on Saturday. Philip Gates’ Syrscusans the sole survivors after Paul Goldstone’s legions and Alastair’s Numidians collapsed. Graham Starkey’s Spanish and Barry Norris’s Gauls watched the victory after Raymond Pearce watched Hannibal and his elephants fall over.

Big thanks to Paul Graham for herding the cats! See also Paul’s post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1U5nvmfyc5/?mibextid=wwXIfr
