Punic Wars - DBA

[O Dinas Powys]

Keeping my eyes closed!

You can ignore the elephant in the room as long as you want, but remember: elephants never forget...

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Fortunately elephants can't get into my room - they wouldn't be able to negotiate the steps..

I took some piccies of the Spearmen

More Spear




This gives me enough spear in each army to field the army after 202 BC

2^nd Carthaginian Army

General and Spear




Spear




More Spear




Can anyone spot the two main differences between the two armies?

[Techno]

Apart from the designs on the shields....I'm struggling.

Look the same to me, and my glasses are fine, unlike Phil's

Lovely work.

The second army have more colourful tunics but the first army are all red. 

The skin tones look different between them too but that might just be a trick of the light.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

One is red, one is blue?

Great work sir.

[paulr]

The second army have more colourful tunics but the first army are all red. 

Well spotted mmcv

The other difference is the labeling; one is white on light blue, the other is black on light blue...

That's what you'd think, but the elephant is a cunning foe - it's almost impossible to spot them until you're studiously ignoring them...
