Carthage Challenge AAR's

[Xtiaan72]

( 265 BC ) A Tale of Two Cities


Hanno urged the column on through the scorching sun. A three month trek through the desert had taken it's toll on his troops and Cydaus was still weeks away. Still Hanno was determined to prove his worth to the council.




Meanwhile, his rival Hamilcar laid siege to Syracousai




Hanno pushes his troops to within yards of the Cydaus city center but is ultimately repulsed. He begins the long journey back to Kart Hadast to face the judgement of the council.




Hamilcar is more successful with his mission. Syracousai falls in a storm of blood and fire. He returns to Kart Hadast with plunder for the council as ordered.

Oh! So Hanno didn't make it at Cydaus while Hamilcar gained a success... Thought the results gonna be vice versa according to preliminary screenshots
Great AAR! No comments though...

Hi all
Sorry to be ugly man but look at

( 265 BC ) A Tale of Two Cities

and

No attacking outside North Africa for 40 turns.

? Afaik Syracousai isn`t African polis, is it? :) just a notabene take easy

[Xtiaan72]

the intent was to not attack a major power. Sorry that was not clear. Syracuse is a rebel city ( And I did not hold it). Incidentally after I sacked the city it rebelled to the Epirotes. So now I am at war with them. Interesting stuff.

Hm... Interesting thing indeed. Like Punic-Pyrrus war starts again :)
btw in my campaign as Rome ive occupy Syracousai in 213bc w/o rebell problem :-0 was confused (in comparison with rtr)

Starting my campaign tonight. I didn't know we were writing aars. Is it ok if I stick to some basic updates on my campaign/generals? Between school, work, and my Arverni aar I think it would be hard to write a lot.

[Xtiaan72]

Yea man..... I'm planning to take my time with the campaign as well.
