beautiful victory of Carthage with the Hch, the Wb are not so good in def.

At this point I wanted to try a " What if". I saw that the Gallic deploiememnt and tactic was not so optimimum so I wanted to see the effect of some different deploiement. Since I play alone, everybody was agree. But for my small Tournament only the first battle is take in account. I play just for fun.

 So an other Battle with the same Armies, initiatives and terrain but some different deploiement.

a) Carthage: almost the same deploiement only the cavalerie is in othe place: the Cv behind the BUA and the Lh on other flank behind the forset.

b) gaule: now only 4 4Wb are place in front in oposition of the SP  with a support of one Lch. The other Wb are placed in front of the forest with a help of Ps and the 2x Cv are in the flank. the last lch is on the left flank in front of the BUA..

. Bound 1.
