[SAGA] Age of Hannibal - Carthage

[Ajax]

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.

Very nice work.

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

I look forward to seeing the rest.

[Ajax]

Thanks all !
Some reinforcements with 8 warriors.

Reinforcements again with 4 guards.

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?

[Ajax]

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...

[Ran The Cid]

Sharp looking force.

[Wiegraf]

Fine looking force! Thanks for sharing.
