Six of the North Phoenix Irregulars recently gathered at Imperial Outpost Games for another 28mm Command & Colors Ancients Epic scenario. Our previous games have followed the career of Alexander the Great. In this case, it was the decisive battle of the Second Punic War, Zama. The scenario was played as written. Two complete games were played over the course of a Saturday afternoon with players switching sides and roles (e.g., no one played the central sector/battlefield commander more than once). While the second game was closer than the first (14 - 11 and 14 - 8), the Carthaginians were defeated in both games as their flanking cavalry tended to be out-classed and overrun while the five elephants in the center were never able to inflict sufficient damage to fatally weaken the Roman center. As before, a good time was had by all and we appreciate Imperial Outpost for hosting the game.

Very cool! I love the look of these games. I really need to play in one of these.
Anytime that you want to try the rules out, let me know. I have the main game and the first expansion so I we can play a few different scenarios to get you introduced to the mechanics (very easy).
