Hmm, looks like fun but the pictures came out a bit blurry for me!

I see some Renegade Miniatures in there, if I am not mistaken? Great minis - I ended up selling mine though as they didn't match my Victrix plastic aesthetic!

The forum plays around with large images and makes them blurry, or too small, a lot clearer on the blog

My republicans are first corps, with Victrix Gauls, Phillipe's army I am not sure of the manufacturer except his Gauls which are warlord plastics

I think it was a computer problem, as I opened them from the blog. I switched to the MacBook and they're much more clear now!

The question was rather about where the men would have come from to end up, in defiance of history, on a Punic Wars battlefield.

Good question! In the rules they are treated as long spear, not pike. I am unaware of any pike on a Punic wars battlefield. Philip V of Macedon sent 4000 men, presumably fighting at Zama who may or may not have been armed with a long spear.

I don't think many scholars buy that claim any more.

Yes, Macedonians a Zama is in doubt, a bit of Roman propaganda!
