5 -6 for Hannibal. Heavy cavalry prevailed, but only just!
Both sides had luck with the cards, always having a reasonable card to play. Not easy when one side ony has cavalry and no mediums.
The Romans relied on thier lights, moving them forward to throw javilins, then evading the counter attacks. The Carthaginians pushed their ight cvalary forward on both flanks, then Hasdrubal bought up the Heavies. A whiling fight in the centre gave way to attack and counter attack on the flanks (no centre cards left on either side). The Roman flanks were forced back, but then threw in the medium cavalry, managing to kill Maharbal, but in turn lost Scipio. with 5 banner each, it came down to a Roman medium cavalary verses Hasdrubal and his heavy cavalry. The Romes caused hits, but not enough, and Hasdrubal wiped them out when battling back, for the win.
A close game!. A good game for learning both cavarly and light infantry tactics.
