Hannibal

[Crimson Castle]

Has there been any discussion about whether the Carthagian faction will be included in RTW?

I am particularly keen to fight some of Hannibal greatest battles - ie Cannae and Zama.

BTW, how will the issue of mercenaries be done in RTW?

Hannibal had recourse to a great number of mercenaries - particularly the Celtic and Spanish sword fighters + and of course the incomparable Numbian horsemen.

Carthago is sure to be in. How could it not be? I suspect we'll be able to get the troops Hannibal had where ever he raised them. i.e. Spain and Numidia

I cant wait.
Ill actully probably start with carthage.Hannibal rocked.All the commands in a carthaginean army were given down interpriters as the armys were mighty multicultural.My favourite carthaginean unit was beber horsemen (dont think hannibal had any he had only Numideans)
They thoughy with no stirup or saddle and with a weapon in each hand.Please put them in CA please
