Title: [SAGA] Age of Hannibal - Carthage
Post by: Ajax on February 16, 2023, 10:00:10 AM

Hello all.
This is the beginning of a new army, Carthaginians for SAGA, the age of Hannibal. They will have the honor of facing the beautiful Romans of Tancrede that you can see here: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=140015.0

Fist, twelve Lybians with javelins (levees).

And a elephant, not to be missed in a Carthaginian army.

A nice start. I particularly like the freehand on the elephant's howdah.

I look forward to seeing the rest.

Nice job on the figures, they look quite good! What is your impression of using the Saga rules for the period? Does it reflect the period well?

Thanks Pattus Magnus.
SAGA was originally planned for the Vikings. The abilities represent heroic acts/ divine interventions in the manner of the Nordic sagas. There is a connection universe/ way of playing. For Hannibal’s age, what I like is that the tray/rules (the elephant, for example) is formulated and designed to reflect the tactics of an army. We lose the mythological/religious aspect but we are gaining "historical depth". The Romans, for example, are very defensive.

Carthaginian army, 7 points. Only cavalry is missing. It will be the next step...
