So I wanted to do more "Punic Wars" game, and I got technical complications for the one I initially wanted to do after my AAR "Hannibal, Carthage and the Second Punic War", so that one got postponed. Since there is a big Grand Strategic Ancient History game incoming soon - I am talking of course of Field of Glory : Empires, I thought I would do one for FOG II, since FoG:Empires will use FoG II for its battle resolution.
Early 221 BC - Preparation in Spain
The year is 221 BC, and Hannibal succeeded Hasdrupal-the-Fair as the commander of the Barcid Emp... of the Punic Estate in Spain.
Hannibal had made an oath ; he would fight the Romans. But before he would fight the Romans, he had to consolidate Spain, and in particular the Olcades.
Confident in his tactical genius and convinced he had to move as fast as possible, Hannibal knew he could not afford to lose time : he would regroup his best troops and commander and march directly against the Olcades's "capital" : Alithia.
My fellow officers, that first battle should be easy - but I will need you when, tomorrow, we march toward Rome.
Call "Present" and tell me about the units you will bring with you to the battle !
[I can rename units, so just pick one. Artillery is boring, but you can pick anything else and I will build my army around this, army size willing]
Once we are ready, we will march toward Alithia !
