Having followed your progress on the blog, it was a pleasure to see the game in progress yesterday: it looked superb, and yet also obviously played well as a game.
Today I'll post some photos of our Zama game which was fought yesterday at the SOA Battle Day in Bletchley, and which we will fight one more time at Salute. All phgotos are clickable.
[Image]Above is the 16' long field of battle before the arrival of the armies. I was very pleased with the terrain, and the details that John Smillie made (olive and other trees, and the haystacks) set it off nicely.
[Image]Here is a view along the battlefield from behind the Carthaginian left rear. If you look carefully, you can see the ladders on the haystacks!
And, finally for the moment (below) an aerial view of the battlefield; Carthaginians in the foreground. The three lines of the Carthaginian deployment can be distinctly made out, with their elephants in front. You should also be able to see the four Roman legions with their "elephant channels", and Numidian foot deployed to their right. The two central legions have red shields, and the outer allied legions, white.

The table and figures look great - it looks like the investment in time and effort has really paid off
good luck with the play through
