Ancients Wargaming: Gauls vs Carthaginians & Spanish

frankxmcgovern, September 15, 2023November 7, 2023

Dayne Williams: “The Gauls had an inferior force but held a terrain advantage guarding a river. The Carthaginians and Spanish had superior strength bolstered by elephants but were forced to funnel through fords in the river and a bridge in order to exit the opposite side of the board at a particular section of the edge. The last group of pictures depicts the situation at the conclusion. Our host Tom concluded that the Carthaginians had scored a decisive victory because of the losses that were inflicted on the Gauls and given the fact that on subsequent turns they would have been able to exit a significant portion of their forces. I differ with that conclusion. As it stood at the end, not enough forces could have actually exited to satisfy a decisive victory goal.”
