Carthage: PeterC & Jim v. Syracuse: Renfrey & Chris.
Carthage on the left. Deployment by divisions by BA style coloured dice draw. Both sides have their cavalry on the far flank & their infantry on the near flank.
The Syrcusians made a general advance. Carthage echeloned their infantry back.
The first clash in the centre saw two Carthaginian cavalry units broken by a shower of hot Syrcusuan dice.
The Carthaginians plugged the hole in their line with their elephants & tried to send cavalry round the far flank.
The Syracusians met the fanking force with their last cavalry reserve.
The leading Carthaginian infantry unit in the centre was was broken on first contact, but they used their last reserve cavalry to pin the winning hoplites down.
The elephants have won & turned around to face the hoplites. The Carthaginian infantry on their left was broken & the unengaged cavalry turned to cover that gap in the line. The cavalry fight on the far flank remains undecided as the Syrcusian infantry are finally getting to grips with the outnumbered Cartho foot.
The Carthagnian infantry is being overwhelmed by superior numbers & the Syracusian cavalry has finally won the fight on the far flank. The Carthaginians fail army morale, so Syracuse has won.
The Carthaginians never recovered from the quick loss of two cavalry units in the opening clash.
