Nola - 216 av. J.C.

 Nola is the 4th Battle of this campaign and she should be played tow more time, one in -215 av JC and a third time in -214 av. J.C. . So I can try different tactic to play this scenario.

Nola ia a roman city so the roman can put his bagage inside but if Carthage take the city it will be risky.

Army composition:

Rome: Marcellus Cv, Equite Cv, 4x4Bd, 2x3Ax, 2x 4Sp and 2x2Ps. The roman play first.

Carthage: Hanibal Cv, cavalerie Cv, 1x El, 1x Lh, 3x4Sp, 1x4Ax, 2x4Wb and 2x2Ps.

The battle must stop after 10 rund.

Deployement:

Rome plan: make place in the first line to deploy the Sp, deploy the left colum to conter the elephant.

Carthage plan: try to put Sp and Wb in combat as soon as possible and the Cv and Lh on the flank.

. Rund 1.

Rome Pips= 1: the Labour stay as rough going.

the 3Ax on the left flank go in line with Ps.

carthage pips= 3: wheel and move the Cv+Ps+El

move the line (Sp+Wb) forward and move the 4Ax more in right flank. ( not in the photo).

. Rund 2.

a) Rome Pips=6:move the Ps and 3Ax to the El and put the Cv on the right flank, move the infantrie line.

b) Carthage Pips=3: rewheel El+Cv+Ps and move

move the inf line too. Hanibal stay on the rear.

.Rund 3.

a) Rome Pips=6: put the Cv,Ps,and 3Ax in combat -> only some recoil on both side.

and the Sp+4Bd go to fight also: -> some recoil

the last colum is in line deployed.

b) Cathage Pips= 5 go back to fight but the Cv in left flank loose the combat an dead.

the rest is only some dude and recoil.

Carthage 0- Rome 1.

. Rund 4.

 a9 Rome Pips= 2: the combat continue and one Ps(c) dead

b) Carthage Pips= 2 nothing special

Carthage 0 - Rome 2

. Rund 5. (the last one)

a) Rome Pips= 2: the Sp and Bd continue to press the Carthagien -> 1Wb dead.

b) Carthage Pips=4: hanibal go to fightand kill one Ps but the second Wb is also be killed by the Bd.

Carthage 1 - Rome 4

the carthagenian was not so lucky in dice in combat.

First victory for Rome.
