I imagine that they'll add Gauls soon too. <br />A&A has Gauls and Carthaginian horse that look good, but their horses are a bit small. I swapped in Front Rank Horses to get the stature that I was looking for.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14776088288204199792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-76020812305973871162013-11-26T06:09:10.942-08:002013-11-26T06:09:10.942-08:00Thanks!

The mechanics did not get in the way, and the game remained close throughout. If the Carthaginians had more cavalry, or had they broken through my Equites sooner, my center would have been compromised. <br />As Jon noted we were getting use to the game, so we didn't use groups or large units, which could have made the action in the center more decisive and shortened the game (for better or worse).
