Battle on the lake Trasimène in -217 before JC

This is the second scenarion ot the campaign "Punica"

The Roman are moving in the morning with the fog along the Lake Trasim`ne direction west. When the fog go away the roman see on the north on the top hill all the Carthage army ready to fight. Surprise!!!

Carthage: 2xLh, Cv, 2x4Wb, General, 3xSp, 2xPs +4Ax

Rome: Cv, General, 2x Sp, 6x 4Bd, and 2x Ps.

Special rules:

- Carthage play first

- first Pip: if it is 1 is 3, 2 is 4 an 3 to 6 stay 3 to 6.
