Yes think it's Zama will check with the other guys tonight if it's a different battle will let you know. As usual it will be part of the Society of Ancients stand. You're welcome to join in when you've spent your money with the traders.

Belated report.
Fought battle using army lists and scenario amendments for Zama as per info under the section further down 'Battle reports & scenarios.
For the romans to win they have to defeat all 3 Gathiginian commands deployed one behind the other for the Carthiginians to win usual victory conditions.
The romans soon made a whole in the Carhiginian' s 1st command this gap was filled by 2 large umits of Gauls who charged into the Romans who fared badly with 3 successive 6's for their CT tests. This took the sting out of the Roman attack who did manage to destroy the 1st and 2nd Carhiginian commands but we're eventually overcome by the last command made up of Carthiginian
veteran heavy infantry.
A rare Carthiginian victory the Romans usually win this scenario.

Above shows armies just before 1st clashes. You can see that the Carhiginian general has refused his 2nd command by holding back citizen spearmen.
