Description Edit | History

This game uses the very popular card system which first appeared in Avalon Hill's We the People game to detail the struggle between Carthage's Hannibal and the Roman Republic in approximately 200 BC. Players use strategic-level cards for multiple purposes: moving generals, levying new troops/reinforcing existing armies, gaining political control of the provinces involved in the war, and generating historical events. If perchance two armies meet on the battlefield, a second set of cards is used to determine the winner. Ultimately both players seek victory by dominating both fronts: military and political.

8 PDF version of my Hannibal "Generals Cards"
Wanted to make this great play aid available to those who don't have access to Microsoft Excel... Print out on cardstock, cut apart with scissors, and laminate (if desired). These cards put the leaders right in front of you, save table space, and are an attractive presentation of each general's forces. Just put CUs, Elephants, etc next to the general's picture. You can even shuffle the Roman leader cards and draw randomly to effect Roman consular elections.

9 Rome Card Odds
Ever wondered how many Battle Cards you needed to have a 50% or 80% chance of winning a battle in Hannibal vs. Carthage? I ran simulations of battles to find the answer. Given a specified attacker, battle ratings for each general, and Carthage Battle Cards, I calculated how many Roman Battle cards would be required for the Roman player to win 50% of the time and 80% of the time respectively. To run the calculation, I played out each scenario 10,000 times with random hands drawn from the deck every time. Carthage General Battle Rating 4 assumes Hannibal (with Probe benefit) I assume each player plays their cards in order of what % of each card type they have. E.g. with 6 frontal assault and 5 Flank left, Flank left would be played first because it's a higher percent of that...
