Ancients in the Black Hills

Chris & I traveled to the Black Hills where PeterC hosted an ancient game using his rules & his ancient 25mm figs.

Chris' Romans on the far side v. Jim's Carthaginians on the near side.  The Carthaginian cavalry has driven the Roman cavalry from the field on the left, but Triari have deployed to face them & protect the Roman flank.  On the right, the Roman cavalry have driven the Carthaginian light cavalry from the field but haven't been able to return. In the centre the Celtic allies of Carthage are fighting the Roman front line.  The Romans withdrew & their 2nd line then attacked & broke the Celts but not without loss.  The Carthaginian vets then attacked the weakened Romans, but a run of bad dice countered their advantage & they too broke giving the battle to the Romans.  A very different style of game to our freewheeling Warlords style.
