660 9/19/2023 7:42:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message Can’t deny that Hannibal had a series of lucky breaks to just make it out alive from Italy and that Scipio’s shockingly bad battle performance is one for the history books. But clearly it was a tense game that could have gone either way through to the final card cliffhanger.

Thanks for the game, and I’ll send Jeff the report this evening.

659 9/19/2023 5:23:00 PM 203-201 BC Rome Message Province count is 9-9, with ties to Carthage. Given the considerable assist from my bad luck, I'm shocked that the count is so close. It should have been a blowout.

Hannibal got just about every break possible, even winning a R16 vs. C9 battle. Only serious problem Carthage had was their naval rolls, but Hannibal was never sunk, only returned to port to try again. In spite of that, Hannibal was harassed throughout Italy and generally ineffective.

I'm sure that may sound like sour grapes, but this game leaves a bad taste in my mouth, much like our prior meeting.

658 9/19/2023 5:21:00 PM 203-201 BC Rome Play Strategy card as Event #36: 2 / Diplomacy
(Both) Convert any one non-walled, non-tribal enemy PC Marker in a space without an enemy CU into a friendly PC Marker.

654 9/12/2023 5:23:00 PM 203-201 BC Carthage Message Yep… although maybe forcing that bad weather play was Scipio’s master stroke.

(Rome) The Roman Player receives four CUs in Latium if it contains no Carthaginian CUs. May only be played if Carthage currently controls three or more provinces in Italy.
