A lot of Pics and Fewer Words- Punic Wars WAB Campaign (Whilst I Write Out the Full Report!)

I had expected to get the full Warhammer Ancient Battles Punic War Campaign scoop written and published as of now but real life, as usual, has forced my hand to slow.

For now, I thought a few pictures of the event might satiate anyone's appetite, at least for now.

All images are clickable and for full size please right click then enlarge on image.







Punic event round 1
"Romans do well (115.5) carthage less so (71.5)...
Rome captures ballearics and votes emergency fortifications to narbonensis.
The carthaginian senate voted to raise additional taxes to reward its generals with more funds.
Mario's forces were driven to almost destruction and while hiding in a cave he recovered a well balanced great axe"














Alex Barnes:
Punic event day 2 Rome holds!
A full 3000 lists hitting the table, the cowardly Gaul's attempted to assinate Matt Barca, but failed and matt recaptured the dido standard, while Marshall Numidians* captured the banner of Mars
*well his merc gaul's did!

Clubbing It! The Italian Wars

Just a quickie as they say! (apologies!)

Whilst I was in the other room playing, you guessed it, Warhammer Ancient Battles (other Ancient rulesets are available!) in a last ditch attempt to get ready for the weekend, a WAB Punic Wars campaign (more to come on that later) I was very pleased to see a lovely collection of Italian Wars miniatures lining up in the main room ready for some rather serious pike and lance action. The Italian Wars are certainly one of my main passions when it comes to toy soldiers so I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to get in a few snaps. Plating were Conrad Cairns, Sean Raine and Jon Severs.
